There is a need for storage. The grid’s power needs are not consistent.
A windfarm in TX or OK makes power when it can. Sometimes the power is negatively priced, but still produced because the gov’t subsidies make it profitable to make electricity nobody needs.

Wind power is usually given a priority on the Grid. If the wind is blowing some other source doesn't get on. Wind penetration is not so great that it can supply all the power on any grid where it is connected so your statement doesn't make sense to me. There is never a time when all the windturbines in Texas could supply all of the power being used by Dallas.
