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

Simiotics of the signified "Transition"is
The fascistic way of German elites since Martin Luther - Seckendorff - Fichte - Bismark - Hitler - Merkel - Von der Leyen to take over the EU trading the accumulated and future Economic Capital for the Symbolic Capital of the green policy initially architected by the US elites among other Larry Fing's way of power.
"Transition" is destroying local German businesses in exchange for the huge territorial control which calls EU, with fully centralized power which is what fascism is all about.

Wind is just not it. Vastly over-hyped, challenging to deploy and underwhelming results. Let's stick with solar and nuclear.
