Yes they are, individually. Just like cars are essentially worthless for large scale reliable transportation, individually.

I don't care if you have a hundred windmills or a thousand, they are still not reliable for large scale power generation.

They only work when the wind blows.

The wind is ALWAYS blowing somewhere.

A thousand is small potatos. In Iowa we have nearly 3000 with more coming. 10,000 seems reasonable for a state of 56,000 square miles.
