Pretty much true (though some of it is beyond my expertise), but it all seems to add up to just what I said: It is technically
possible to do this, just as it is possible to have solar-powered cars. It's just not
practical.
PS: FWIW, the current (AFAIK) record speed for a wind-powered car is 126 mph, though with an airfoil "wing", not a turbine.
