Ah! Great idea! Now how man cars and motorbikes can you power with such a
wind farm? I would like the answer to be, hundreds of millions, but I think I
know this is not the case. The technology of hydrogen transpotation and
storage doesn't seem to be quite there yet, and the economics seems decades
off. Maybe there is a fix somwhere, but after having been promised solar
power for decades; one needs to be skeptical of claims of a golden clean
energy age.
