Of course the fan that recharges as you drive won't work, but the basic idea is not totally impossible. Look at landsailers, which can get up to 110 mph or more in good wind conditions. So you have a telescoping airfoil that you raise when the relative wind will let you extract energy. There are some stretches of road around here where it would work great. The roads are north-south, and in the afternoons there'll be a ~50 mph crosswind coming down off the mountains...
