I can’t imagine that the profit can sustain the maintenance costs.
Same for solar farms.

I remember the first windmill that went up outside of Palm Springs, CA. Its blades were about six feet in length and it spun like a turbo prop.

And then there’s the disposal costs. These things will go into landfills.
