Solar panels convert solar radiation to power linearly, in proportion to the amount of sunlight. But wind turbines convert wind to power at the wind speed cubed. A year ago, we weren’t even having this conversation. So we need to expand the grid in ways that can tap into the best American resources, particularly wind power.
