I’m not confusing anything. I’m pointing out that the actual tangible change in electricity production is effectively non existent. The increase in overall capacity is not actually very large, and that’s why the capacity factor is effectively flat. Again, compare the increase in capacity in US with the increase in capacity in China to see what actual progress looks like. It’s incredible to me that you’re incapable of accepting what’s happening.

Capacity and capacity factor are not connected. You could have one wind turbine or a thousand and they would tend to have a similar capacity factor, all else being equal. If you need another illustration of this, consider this table of China’s stats, which includes the capacity factor. It stays steady at around 20% in a time period where capacity has increased by a factor of over 300.
You’re right, but steady capacity factor with the total capacity doubling every year is a very different situation from what you see in US where it took a whole decade to double, you get that right?
