Actually, the ultimate solution is
NOT wind turbines, since you have the issues of noise generated by the turbines, the unsightliness of hundreds of large turbines in the same area, and the issue of bird kills with conventional turbines (since birds often can't see the spinning blades clearly).
Here's the vastly better solution, as shown by this large schematic:
The US has 440,000 tons of thorium-232 that can be used for the liquid fluoride thorium reactor, plus many tons of spent uranium fuel rods that could be processed into fuel for this reactor, too. If we standardized a design for a 1,000 MW LFTR, we could build hundreds of them not only to expand available power, but also phase out coal-fired powerplants, too.
you have the issues of noise generated by the turbinesI would also add that there are some people who are physically affected by these things. But, who cares. As Nancy Pelosi said, "I'm saving the planet". Egomaniacs.
You also could use sea water in heat exchanger 2 and get distilled fresh water by adding one more step, the Arabs do that with the conventional fired plants in Kuwait,Electric and Fresh water Both!
