I work at a power company and there are a myriad of issues with wind energy. The number one being... NIMBY. Nobody wants a giant and somewhat loud windmill bleating behind their house. Only farmers typically deal with it. Now imagine on the entire power grid how many of those suckers we'd need CONSTANTLY generating power at the rate in which people are consuming it. Also what if the wind dies during peak period? How about the wind dies in a lot of areas so that we have to buy power from another supplier at a higher cost losing us money? Storage is key here. But now imagine having thousands of megawatts on reserve. That's a pretty massive battery! That's essentially what would be required in order to make up for the inability to constantly generate power. And afaik, were an incredibly long way off.
