How reliable is wind power?

Wind is an intermittent resource, however, wind turbines are not unreliable technology.

Modern wind turbines capture more than 90% of the available energy from the wind, compared with a fuel efficiency of between 35 to 40% for a conventional coal fired station, which typically loses a significant proportion of energy through heat loss and pollution.
