Al-Naimi reveals his ministry?s working plan on climate changeQuoteAl-Naimi (...) added that our duty is to exert effort to develop the techniques to make fossil fuels environmentally friendly (...)(...) the most important thing is going to the labs and taking carbon dioxide and other gases and injecting them into the ground to raise the efficiency of extracting oil from the ground.That is caring Mother Nature, indeed.

How many MWhr of energy does one get from the average MW of capacity?Yes, that is capacity. 'Spot' production is also discussed in the article.I believe that the 'yield' -- actual output as the %age of the theoretical max output of wind farm installation working at full capacity 365/7/24 -- is very low.Recently, I heard that 'yield' in France is 24%.

The article has two graphs but they seem hand-picked as times of maximum power output.

"Hope" is the thing with feathersQuote"Hope" is the thing with feathers -That perches in the soul -And sings the tune without the words -And never stops - at all -And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -And sore must be the storm -That could abash the little BirdThat kept so many warm -I?ve heard it in the chillest land -And on the strangest Sea -Yet - never - in Extremity,It asked a crumb - of me.
