I will only give one reason. Unless you live in far west Texas, or the north shore of one of the Hawai'ian islands the wind is not that consistent. Here in far West Texas, we have sun for 320 something days a year, and although we DO have an almost steady 12 to 18 MPH wind out of the southwest, during our Spring windy season, we have a solid two weeks of straight line 50 to 60 MPH winds also out of the south west, where the props have to be locked in place to keep from damaging them. I'm sure that there are other places like far West Texas as well, where for several weeks a year, the wind plants need to be shut down.
There are places on the planet where there is not much Sun, so there will be no magic bullet that will work everywhere, wind in some places, solar, or both in others.
