Of course energy generated from the wind is a good source of environmentally safe energy it has been for thousands of years. Unreliable well it depends how you define unreliable. Maybe the technology is, like all technology - but the wind?

No reliance on other nations to supply the fuel, no fuel transport problems and no long-term safety considerations.
