Wind power actually peaks at night in most places, and is also cheaper than solar. Overnight EV charging & wind power is a good pairing.

Wind power is also great for massacring wildlife (bats and birds in particular).

It is also great at increasing maintenance costs and causing blackout due to equipment failure.
