I'd really hope wind has a bus factor of more than one though.
If we increase our energy consumption 100-fold this estimation of net loss in wind would approach 1% which sounds bad. I guess we might need wind protector after all.
That's a pretty big "if".
Is it? Given current energy consumption growth it's just 100-150 years away
Edit: From covering the entire surface of the earth, which is the bigger if. (Should have read the context)
