Many polar locales such as ice caps, coastal regions,and areas experiencing katabatic winds are ideally suited for theuse of wind turbines. In areas such as these, wind turbines canoften provide the primary or even sole source of electrical powergeneration. Even locations typically regarded as having relativelypoor wind resources, such as interior Alaska, often experienceadequate wind speeds to provide at least a supplemental chargingsource for a battery-based , in almost all locations, the wind is an extremely variable source of Power .
