Opinions? Everyone has one. Fuller in 1974:

www.bfi.org/: NYT (1974) Energy Through Wind Power

Quote:
The inventions that impound solar energy through sun‐reflecting or lensing devices are fascinating to the imagination but relatively insignificant in potential. In fact, they work only few hours daily when the sun is at a favorable angle.
....
Wind power is in a class by itself as the greatest terrestrial medium for harvesting, harnessing and conserving solar energy. The water and air waves circulating around our planet are unsurpassed energy accumulators whose captured energy may be used to generate electrical, pneumatic and hp draulic[sic] power systems.
