At least over here they do.
Our polders have been kept dry by wind mills for over 4 centuries. There have been floods by dike breakthroughs, but never by rain and no wind.

The larger a wind turbine is, the better it works - we are up to 8-12MW units now. One single revolution can power a house for a day.
We can also deploy high flying autonomous tethered wind turbine systems, that get 1/2 mile altitude without a tower.. They can even have portable bases (i.e. they are trucks), and can be moved as needed.
