Why are you assuming that the transit vehicle would *only* run on wind?
That would be as ridiculous as assuming it could only run on dirty coal,
or nucular, or ...
That's why there's this thing called an *energy mix*. Like so much from
fossil fuel, so much from solar, so much from wind, etc. All sources can
make their contribution. Once it's in the network, who cares where those
electrons came from?

It is a WASTE OF TIME.
