Lower hydro output

Does it make "cents" to lower the hydro output to accommodate the proposed industrial wind project? State officials are currently handing out the equivalent of 24 cents per kilowatt hour over the next 20 years to 11 industrial wind and solar projects. The electricity generated; however, will only sell for an average of 16.25 cents per kilowatt hour according to the Federal Energy Information Administration. According to an article printed from The Dailey Caller on January 16 "The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is currently investigating how green energy undermines the reliability of the electrical grid, and officials believe there is a 'significant risk' of electricity in the U.S. becoming unreliable."
