I've always thought wind will come unto it's own when they mate it with Hydrogen production. Nothing will compete against it then. Wind will eventually increase in efficiency a lot more, especially since the current wind generators are incredibly inefficient compared to the energy of the wind flowing over it. So solar is now reaching 30% efficiency where as wind is still about less than 1%.
An example is wind or air weighs between 1 to 1.25kgs per cubic metre. So windspeeds at 25ms^1 is equal to 625 to 781N of non cushioned force is hitting the blade of 1 square metre in area.
That's why a backyard inventor can create a decent power producing wind generator.
Come on GE your letting the team down.
I won't bore you with the rest of the details.
