So much smoke, so little fire...

How does the carbon budget of a wind turbine and its associated infrastructure compare with the alternatives? Does it take into account the fossil-fueled capacity that can be shut down as surplus?

BTW, the calm-weather backup for a wind turbine is a wind turbine in another part of the country. It's always windy somewhere.
