Show us your calculations. You're the one making the grand claim.
Include total projected world energy needs in the analysis.

read this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power#Theoretical_potential

"The most comprehensive study to date[42] found the potential of wind
power on land and near-shore to be 72 TW (~54,000 Mtoe), or over five
times the world's current energy use and 40 times the current
electricity use."

//////// "...five times the world's current energy use and 40 times
the current electricity use..." \\\\\\\\\

and this:

and, don't forget my "Wind Energy Skyscrapers" proposal that, stacking
many wind turbines, could multiply these (already good) figures by
THREE, FIVE, TEN !!!

well, now I wait for a reliable source link to your "Competent People"
analysis...
