The 3.5 MW project

That's basically a cigarette lighter in terms of actual energy needs.

Exactly. It's the equivalent of about 1.5 ordinary land-based wind turbines.

It has the big advantage that it is not sporadic, but the problem is, these things typically cost an order of magnitude more than windpower, so they are almost always small demonstration projects that use some public R&D money or they are there for a photo in the annual report, and not a real solution to energy needs.
