The most important concept to understand about energy. Industrial civilization needs at least a 12:1 ratio to function. An accurate analysis of the entire life cycle of wind will show it's below that. Solar may be slightly above it. Solar is a first derivative of the sun's energy but wind is a second derivative (wind is created from uneven heating of the planet) so it should be obvious that wind will never be better than solar.
