Mankind has already tried wind power.
It was supplanted because it is so fickle.

Captain Cook arrived here in wind powered ships.
Across Europe mills powered by wind and water are gone.
Reliable electricity is the power source
generated by nuclear and fossil fuels.

Some greenies want to go back to the caves.
but we can't go on making the same mistakes.
Wind power is useless for serious generation,
because it has to have fossil backup for when it doesn't blow.

Forget wind go with the reliable back-up.
