There is nothing wrong with wind power, the problem is people keep trying to use renewable energy to emulate the fossil fuel grid. It's like making a mechanical horse to pull a carriage and claiming cars don't work.
A renewable energy grid needs much more wind and solar, it also needs transmission and demand response with some storage and overgeneration. Yes, overgeneration. Then with the extra energy you overgenerate, you produce things like fertilizer which isn't needed asap like electricity is. With overgenration, even when you have lulls, you'll still produce enough
