About this video
Why do some wind turbines spin while others nearby stand still? Some people think it's due to scheduled maintenance or the wind speed isn't enough, but that's only partially true. You see, when you turn on a switch, a nearby power plant must immediately pick up that additional load. Similarly, when you turn off a switch, a nearby plant must immediately drop that load.Since we lack storage solutions and power, demand fluctuates throughout the day. When the grid doesn't need extra power, wind turbines are stopped.
