The generators on the wind turbines are usually induction motors spun faster than grid frequency .
Cables are usually buried underground and are routed to a common point . Then carried on overhead lines at 13.8Kc or 27Kv.
Problem is that wind power is not reliable and always requires all of wind generation being backed up with reserve power .
This costs as now two redundant power systems are required for the same amount of power .
Wind power also fluctuates and surges which is a challenge to distribution protection and control systems . Wind power naturally has occultations in voltage , current and frequency that would be fault conditions with fossil or nuclear .
Then there are the subsidies paid to wind and solar that nuclear and fossil are not paid . This does play into the end game of nuclear haters and fossil haters . The extra $$$ paid to wind and solar along with it costing fossil and nuclear extra to keep equipment spinning at reduced output .
Costs stay about the same for nuclear and fossil but revenue is down . Particularly the daytime peak rates that nuclear and fossil used to be paid are now being hogged by wind and solar who have priority to generate .

Today's Featured Article - Tuning Up Your Tractor: Cooling and Fuel Systems, Hoses and Belts - by Curtis Von Fange. Our tractor is coming right along.

Let's take a closer look, now, at the cooling system since it has to work so hard in the summer heat. Cooling systems can be real cantankerous in their old age. Radiator cores clog up with rust, lime or other mineral deposits and the fins clog up with weed seeds and debris. The metal headers slowly corrode away from years of use and
