If it could be proven commercially viable, they’d be doing it. It can’t; they won’t.

I was recently in the northeast on the Atlantic coast (New Brunswick) and experienced strong winds every day I was there. I can see the appeal for wind power. But even with that experience I could tell it was too intermittent an energy source to make grid power depend on it.

At most, if I lived in that area, I'd be interested in pico wind turbines for my own home to give me free power part of the time so it'd reduce how much power overall I buy from the grid. Beyond that I can't see a practical use for wind power even in that setting.

Wind & solar might be viable for limited usage in small projects where you don’t need very much power on a constant basis. A small wind turbine might be good for supplying light power to a tent in a remote area. A small unit could be made to withstand winds of very differing velocity,also.
