A wind turbine on its own is a silly idea, certainly.

But if you connected it via a propshaft to a propellor at the rear of the vehicle, then I think you'd be on to something.
You could put a gearbox in between and drive the rear propellor at a suitable speed for conditions. You could put it in reverse and get a braking effect!
