...Am I right?.
1) it is cheaper and easier to maintain
2) works 24/7/365 as long as is there some breeze
3) works in any weather (within reason. Hurricanes not recommended).
4) can be made easily removable for driving
(snip) Would there be a similar monetary investment in either solar panels or wind power as far as the battery bank, charger/regulator, etc?
A bladed wind turbine would take many hours (if not all day) to charge up the batteries-of which the generator could do a big bulk of in just 2 hours. Good Luck, TomC
