>Instead it can be argued that if it's calm in Hamburg it is still very likely that it is windy in many other parts of Germany

The industry way to capture this is with a portfolio benefit analysis.

I don't know how safe your assumption is in Germany.

I am far more familiar with wind regimes in the States. If you have a plant in northern Texas, another in Iowa, another in the Columbia River valley in Oregon, and the last in Tehachapi pass in Cali, you have a full portfolio benefit lol

> The wind speed is not uniform across the disc area of turbines.

Depending somewhat on the time of day (or really: night)

>it would have been impossible not to pick up native English fluency being born and raised here and attending public school

Exactly! Yes, I think it was the fear you mentioned that kept Mama's generation from being taught Italian. I'm going a long way back: Mama was born in '46, which was really not that long after the Immigration Acts of '21 and '24 which were aimed at keeping people like my family out of the country. If no dogs or Italians were allowed, maybe don't teach the kids Italian.

I took Spanish in 8th grade in Wyoming in the 80's and didn't learn a damned thing. I can't help but wonder if it was too late, that second languages need to be learned either young or by pure immersion.

I did end up with a fairly strange accent. I speak fluent hick but it's peppered with Brooklynite idioms and accents.

>I once read that children of immigrants tend to have a poorer grasp of both languages because they learn the reading and writing and grammar in school while speaking their native tongue at home but not learning the grammar and such as well.

Grandmama's generation was first generation, and they all spoke Italian...but Mama's generation didn't, because their parents would all speak Italian so the kids wouldn't understand them.

That the story I got, anyway.

But Wyoming doesn't actually exist.

>Wyoming

Nah, /r/wyomingdoesntexist

Lift like your life depends on it. It might.
