Into wind just in time! All fuels about to skyrocket with huge inflationary forces afoot due to falling American dollar! Also: The Asian Fact: they bid against a weakened dollar with stronger Yuan for world’s resources including oil, coal, uranium, driving those prices through the roof for Yankee Doodle with his “Biggest in History” foreign debt and dollar diving daily due to government spending, printing! The books are on your side, you will pay off this debt 20 cents on the dollar as the inflation hits! the paper debt remains fixed in ink! Dollar value does not – the old American lever for buying internationally (oil) working for you now! Wait long enough and you can pay this debt off with American postage stamps, Goddammit! Good move.

What happens when the wind does not blow? I assume that power in that case will come via the normal underwater power line.

Since actual power lost on a 12 mile line is very small, I presume that part of the cost of the 30 cents per kilowatt hour electricity cost is to pay for the maintenance required on the line. If there is less power delivered over the line, but the maintenance costs remain constant then it seems to me that each kilowatt hour will have to cover a larger portion of the maintenance costs.
