single tower 'wind power'

To augment the supply for one house, fine. How many to power a city, or even a decent size factory?
Even though there is a lot of energy in the wind it's spread over a vast volume and only a small portion of it can be harvested by each windmill.
And of course availability is intermittent.

True, but consider using it to convert water to hydrogen to power your vehicles. Link to FR story -
