> evidence from Texas suggests that windfarms do not end up near population centres even in markets with locational pricing and liberal planning laws

The windy part of Texas is not the part where most people live. The western part of the state and the panhandle are windy but also pretty dry. Most of the people live more toward the central or eastern part of the state where it's greener but less windy.

Pricing incentives may just not be enough to overcome that.
