Intermittent wind?! Who would have thunk?
If you talk to people that control and manage electrical distribution grids, they will tell you that wind facilities contribute almost nothing of value, since they must always be backed up with spinning reserve. The cost and resource difference between spinning reserve and full on line generation is smaller than the cost and resource consumption of wind generation.
When you consider that electricity generating wind turbines are, by nature, a maintenance nightmare, none of makes any sense at all. Every wind farm now ostensibly in production is destined to be a bone yard of rusting, abandoned hulks in the not too distant future.
