This is interesting. The NYT has an article looking at one possible solution to the problem of intermittent wind power generation: "One proposed solution to the intermittency problem is to tie many wind farms together with a transmission line — making an electric grid, as it were, consisting of wind turbines. Now, Willett Kempton of the Center for Carbon-free Power Integration at the University of Delaware and colleagues have shown how this 'all-for-one' approach might work with offshore wind farms along the Eastern Seaboard."
