Due to climate change past histograms of winter and summer weather are likely to understate the likelihood of extreme weather days going forward. If climate change risk is a "known unknown", then a regulator with a taste for Robustness will sign up more customers for CPP. Read Frank Wolak's 2011 paper.

Globally, too, wind stands to be a leader in what’s to come for fighting climate change. Even more important, though, wind is an impressive piece of our electricity supply. And a lot more big-ness is coming.
