One niche where wind power does make sense is cruising sailboats, particularly at anchor or on a mooring. In that case the only alternatives for battery charging are solar cells (low output) or running the engine (even more noisy). At anchor, wind (unobstructed by land features) is frequently available and the occupants (being cruisers) can adjust their schedules to accommodate power availability. I sold my Cape Dory when I moved inland to the NC Piedmont in 2005.
