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 .

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
