Until you can couple wind turbines with a way to store the power until it is needed, wind power is useless.

Small scale wind power is very useful in remote areas that are far from a grid. It keeps banks of batteries charged that are then used for modern conveniences like lighting, well pumps and power sockets.

It is pretty common in remote ranches and schools in Africa and South America. Even some places in the USA.
