Utilize wind, solar, AND geothermal to generate round-the-clock energy.

Just thinkin’…

It makes sense to tie into the grid along with wind turbines to get some economy and provide a broader “profile” of power.

Another thought is to integrate wave power generators in the bases of water based turbines, so they generate power from the motion of the waves as well as from the wind.
