    They don't produce enough for the entire world my friend. Wind still only amounts to less than 5% of power generation globally. And what do you do when the wind is blowing and it's night out? You either need massive battery installations or baseline power from nukes

      not at the moment, true

      Wind still only amounts to less than 5% of power generation globally.

      True and even at just 5% it is profitable without subsidies in many places!!

      And what do you do when the wind is blowing and it’s night out?

      Wind blows at night and on a whole continent there is wind pretty much somewhere at all times, also at night power usage is a lot lower and also there are pretty clever solutions for this, not just one solution but a multitude of different things that can be done and already are done.

      You either need massive battery installations or baseline power from nukes

      The nukes that already exist should be kept until every carbon plant is shut down, so they'll stay with us for a while anyways and yeah, some battery installations already exist and lots of stuff is being developed.
