The wind blows when it blows, but we assume it will continue from year to year.

The turbines themselves are completely renewable, when they come to end of life. This would be when maintenance and repair is becoming uneconomic. ( that point is before installation)

They never pay for themselves in their rated lifetime. They provide almost zero power when you add in the standby costs for fossil fuel backup. They kill birds and bast proving to be an environmental nightmare.
