If your wind is fairly distributed, then consumption tends to be local, and you just need a distribution network, no need to reinforce the transport network.

If you've got 1000 5MW windmills way out in the desert (or North Sea), you need a big thick transport network like you do for a nuclear power station.

Why this should lead to splits among Greens, when it's an engineering issue, I have no idea.

If it's a matter of industrial & tariff policy favouring concentrated or distributed wind, then transport is only one factor.
