Although that would be a cool job description.

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)
