Ain't rocket surgery.
Wind is just as unreliable as solar.
There are places that have wind more often than others. For instance, I lived inland in SC for many years and we were excited when there was a tiny breeze. Near the coast there was probably more movement of the air.
Here in North Texas the wind blows nearly all the time. What is considered a breeze here would be considered wind in the area of SC where I lived. A road trip into Oklahoma led us to many, many wind farms. Why, because the wind is almost always blowing just like here.
It would be stupid to put a windfarm in Lexington County, SC as the damn things would seize up from lack of movement. Not only is solar a good option here but so is wind as is evidenced to the north and the west of us.
