Does Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) destroy Renewable Energy?

CAES is used to run natural gas generators. The compressed air needs to be heated when released, so it is forced through natural gas generators to make them more efficient. But, if we take energy generated by wind, using taxpayer and ratepayer subsidies to produce carbon free renewable power, for the purpose of turning it into fossil fueled power that is ultimately delivered to the ratepayer, haven't we traded renewable power for non-renewable? Doesn't this take away from the RPS - renewable portfolio standard? And why isn't anyone mentioning this when talking about CAES?
