Guam, where I live, is actually small enough, isolated enough and windy enough (We sit in the equatorial trade winds and the wind blows here all the time) Electricity prices are nearly 4 time the average cost in the mainland US.

The problem would be the typhoons

Please forget about the politicians joke about Guam tipping over. It is really offensive to the people that live here. Besides everyone knows that Guam is going to sink under a load of corruption

Take it up with the Black Caucasians. It wasn't a joke, but he is.

Not really. WT are designed so that the blades automatically feather and lock above certain speeds. Designing floating structures capable of withstanding typhoons/hurricanes is straightforward known engineering (see "oil drilling platforms") I'm from south Louisiana, where oil platforms routinely withstand hurricanes. They shut down production and evac the crews until the storm passes.
