The only way I can see the wind thing working is if there were some way to capture the energy NOT being used, and store it until its needed.

But they dont make batteries that big, do they?

IIRC, there is a set of wind turbines in Norway near a hydroelectric dam. They are able to use the wind energy to pump water back into the reservoir, which they can then release as they need it.
