Wind energy has an efficiency of about 10 billion kilowatt-hours per year which you might think is fairly efficient. there are other much more efficient sources such as nuclear energy which produces 674 billion kilowatt-hours per year and requires less space and doesn't need a contant wind of 13 miles per hour to work
