Why do you say that? did you have wind power fail to power your home or are you repeating what you have been told?
I grew up in a house that was powered by 100% wind, my parents currently live in a house that is about 40% wind, 50% solar, but they also have two fridges, well pump, tv's, computers, welder, wood working shop, grow lights for starting garden plants, chicken coop with heated water dish, I plug my electric car in when I stop to visit, they are hooked to the grid as a back up but the fee for reading the meter is as much as the bill for the power they use and if the wind turbine was on a taller tower it could power more of their house but the tower they used was one they already had and it is to short for the ground clutter they have.
