Wind power is no use during a hurricane. Unless someone can develop a type of battery that can hold enormous quantities of energy, that make up for its cost, then we had better forget about wind and solar power.
It would be nice to not have to clean these panels, too. An inconvenient truth that solar folks have to deal with.

Actually, this has been done in several mechanical (not chemical) ways that on an industrial scale, are surprisingly efficient - one way involves pumping water up hill and then doing hydroelectric power from that.
