The average "cut out" (shut down) wind speed for turbines is 55mph. So as a hurricane approaches and wind speeds increase, eventually shutting down the wind farm at 55mph, how will this help?
Louisiana is also not an ideal state for wind farms as the average 80m hub height wind speeds are moderate at best.

Ever been in Louisiana in late summer/fall? Some/most days you can’t buy a breeze. Dead calm is the normal, just hot and hotter.
Sure, lets put wind farms all over! Spending tax money to support a boondoggle that free enterprise would turn down because its a money looser.
Stupid is as stupid does.......
