Thank you for publicizing this legal information opposing "Big Wind," Stephen from "Watts Up With That?." Attorney David D. Begley is a real gem. He is well-informed regarding the facts regarding wind power, which only makes sense for niche uses such as pumping small quantities of water for cattle when the power grid is distant.
This is great advice for any community fighting BIG business. Wind and solar are not free resources. The total, lifecycle costs for such projects are not always not included in statements or articles. Congratulations on saving your community.
Stephen: You are welcome. Here's my most recent update demonstrating the limitations of solar and wind relative to nuclear. Solar, wind, and batteries are "parasite power." Please publicize this update.

DCPP is the greatest contributor to California in-state Synchronous Grid Inertia (SGI)
Kenneth Kaminski, who worked at DCPP for more than 30 years informed me that I had an incorrect value for the rotating mass for each DCPP generator. The total rotating mass of a DCPP generator and turbines is an unprecedented 500 tons, not the 50 tons that I used. That means each DCPP generator produces roughly 75 times the SGI as each Helms Pumped Storage generator. There are two generators at DCPP. DCPP's SGI is far more important for California than I initially calculated. Keep Diablo Canyon running!
