There is good info on Vanadium here:

http://www.vanadium.com.au/

It is toxic in high concentrations but is not considered a carcinogen and is
not easily absorbed through the skin. Vanadium poisoning can result from
inhaling soot.  The greatest source of vanadium pollution is oddly enough
soot from fossil fuels.  Through the lungs is the path, not likely with
solutions.

Windpower, over 13500 mw sold.

Assuming a 20% Capacity factor,
that's over 28,955 1980 F-100 equivalents !!
