   Hi Jim,   
      
   "10 kts" is 5.1 metres per second right?   
      
   This shows some places with a higher wind average speed than that.

   The trick is to build the wind farms where it is windiest and transmit the   
   electrical power to customers via the grid.   
      
   I've seen maps showing that it is much windier in winter in New Hampshire - so   
   the wind power would be most useful for heating in the winter whereas solar   
   can help with the air conditioning in summer.
