I didn't make an argument in that paragraph. I pointed out that a nation of people is making 25% of their power from wind, and plans to increase that to 50% before the decade is out, and you came here to argue that it doesn't make sense. It's surely making sense for them, so what can we learn from that?

I should know better than to get involved in threads like these since they're just mud-sling contests. Between you and penny500, I'm about out of HN patience for the day.

Just because a country does something, it doesn't mean it's the smartest thing to day (you can deduce that logically by realizing that different countries adopt different policies).

It could be the smartest thing for that country to do; it would be foolish, for example, for Afghanistan to get freshwater by desalinating seawater, but would make a bit more sense for nations with a coastline.
