Seems a bit quiet https://map.neweuropeanwindatlas.eu/ + others

I will bother to reply if you bother to formulate an argument.

Edit: what's with the downvotes? A URL is not an argument, and neither is some raw data without any interpretation.

If anything the link makes it look like everything is equally viable.

Even if a plot is not perfect, consistent wind (well above the ground) can be tapped by tall wind turbines and still be net positive. Ground wind speed is very different from up where they operate

Default measurements in link are taken at 100m above sea level - turbines are currently built at around 80m, some 90m, and 100m in development.

Seems .. referring to the assertion that maybe something is the case

Quiet .. theres insufficient wind here (aerial not at ground level or behind lederhosen) in southern Germany.. maybe we shouldn't invest millions into it

Data .. lack of wind in southern Germany on website dedicated to tracking wind in Europe
