The whole driving force behind wind turbines was the reduciton of CO2 emissions. If you can reduce output from gas stations and close baseload coal plants then that is positive. Because CO2 emissions have been reduced. Doing that cheaply is just an added bonus. It leaves money left over for other things that are needed to balance the grid. Things like battery storage, interconnectors, pumped hydro, and nuclear.
