Wind turbines are a total boondoggle. The intermittency is even a major factor. They simply can't produce enough power over their lifetime to justify the manufacturing, maintenance, and disposal costs, not even counting the eyesore, noise, and wildlife factors. You literally have to produce tens of thousands of turbine blades to equal the power output of a single nuclear reactor. The install is complex, location specific, and there are heavy duty moving parts that wear out.
