Where is the missing 98.4% supposed to come from?
If the wind drops even for a few seconds or minutes, you cannot suddenly start up generating capacity elsewhere, even if it was available.

Wind Turbines should not be the new Moai(statues on Easter Island), using up rare earth elements and creating jobs for NO ACTUAL PURPOSE.
It not just win turbines, but also wave power (like the one that has been suggested on the river Seven), it we had a lot more Wind and Wave turbines, combine that with biomass and it would be enough to reduce our dependency towards fossil fuels

Also note, there is also carbon capture and clean coal
