Highlights: Life-cycle analyses of wind in grids have many significant shortcomings today. Wind displaces far less emissions than typically assessed today. Wind does reduce emissions but insufficiently to qualify as sustainable. Policy must focus on developing low carbon dispatchable energy sources. Policy must focus on systemic sustainability and less on renewable energy per se. Abstract: Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all is one of the Sustainable Development Goals. Some countries have therefore invested significantly in . . .
