Jaak: "Virginia has less mountains to capture the wind." t: "Mountains in VA are even taller than in WV." ============================================================ One tall mountain does not make VA more mountainous WV. I have seen these mountains. I have lived in Pittsburgh and Maryland. I often visited these mountains. I say the Allegheny Mountains of WV cover a larger area than the Cumberland Mountains in the SW corner of VA. EIA confirms that the mountains in VA offer limited wind energy potential: Virginia has large areas with wind energy potential off its Atlantic coast and in the Chesapeake Bay, but onshore resources are limited and there is no utility-scale wind electricity generation in the state. A demonstration project, Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, 27 miles off Virginia Beach, has two 6-megawatt turbines that are the first wind turbines installed in federal waters. https://www.eia.gov/state/analysis.php?sid=VA#:~:text=Virgin....
