There's a place for wind for sure, but I wouldn't call it reliable, especially when compared to geothermal or hydro. Even solar is generally more predictable and reliable.
In Europe wind and solar is a good match since one delivers when the other doesn't. We need all of them. It's not a pissing contest, but a cooperation.
100%, I just wish we had more geothermal going in, we need more baseload generation so we can hold water back in our hydro systems, that will allow us to manage the solar and wind variations a lot better, then throw in batteries as well.
