It looks like wind, salt, sand and flying critters make the half life of a wind generator very short in Hawaii!:

In general, wind power is a joke; nobody could possibly operate solely on wind.

What wind power is good for is small, off-grid solar power users that need a source of power that tends to run well when the sun doesn’t.

As a source of power for the main grid, wind falls flat on its face.
