Clearly you mistakenly think there is logic and analysis involved in this.

Nah, I just think it's a religion, and have thought that for quite some time.

Wind farms are much less efficient than claimed, producing below 10% of capacity for more than a third of the time, according to a new report.

There is a reason for windpower's low capacity factor: That is, the power put out by a windmill is proportional to the windspeed cubed. To better undertand this, consider the case where the wind is blowing just strong enough to get 100% power from a windmill (with most windmills this is at about 22 mph). If the wind then diminishes to half of that windspeed (say 11 mph) the windmill does not produce half of the power but instead produces one-eighth of the power (1/2 X 1/2 X 1/2 = 1/8) that it was producing. Thats a huge dropoff and is precisely why utilities need to keep a backup power supply online at all times.

I concur wholeheartedly on that. It has become a replacement religion for those who have foresworn religion.
