Wind is actually incredibly reliable in both average direction and speed, reliable enough for airport runways to be built facing into the wind to assist takeoff and landing

Well, when you look at utilisation factors of wind vs geothermal or hydro you will see that it's not as good as you may think. I think we need wind generation as part of a mix, but I don't consider it particularly reliable, especially when our national demand peaks on cold still nights.
