Not so - see the link I posted. Under the right conditions, you can extract more energy from the wind that it takes to propel the vehicle. Of course that's actual wind, not relative, so it doesn't work in calm conditions. Otherwise, how's it logically different than powering a car hooked to a stationary wind turbine?
