While what you stated is totally true that wind is not 100% reliable but remember the brownouts in California that turned out to be be corporate greed caused to justify jacking up rates.

I would not be to surprised to know that a lot of what happened in Texas was partly the wind (proveable by looking at the weather patterns at that time) but also made worse by those who wish to fund thier pockets with other means of generating electric.

I see a future with houses that are lit with LED lights and have water towers/tanks incorporated into thier designs. Thus IF power was not available then batteries would keep effcient LED lights going for days and a water tank/tower would supply water for a good while.
