I always say that if you could just allocate enough land to erect at least 1,000 wind turbines, you might be able to generate enough power to run a wind farm.
Personally, I think the only serious power that ever got generated from wind is political power.
I have a surefire way to make wind power economical-have the government pay me to go fishing every day. You could light up New York City with the wind that blows whenever I am on the lake. The strange thing is that the wind stops when I quit fishing, so I guess that I will have to fish 24 hours a day.
