This is a very complex question and the answer is not a simple one. You would need an extremely large investment in infrastructure coupled with vast tracks of land to site the tens of thousands of wind turbines needed to supply energy to all of Australia. This assumption is based on the capability of the current models of wind turbines available today. We currently do not have the technology or resources to supply completely green energy to all of australia. Whether it be wind turbines, solar, Hydro electricity etc. What we do need to research however is power stations powered by thermal energy or building power stations based on the tidal energy of the sea. As most of Australia lives on the coastline tidal energy could be developed into a real competitive alternative. The northern part of Western Australia would be a great place to start as they experience tides in the vicinity of 8 metres. Research on Green energy alternatives needs a commitment from public and private enterprises and because of the contributions to our economy of the coal industry I don't see the status quo changing anytime soon!

How many wind turbines are in Australia?
In 2014, there were about 50 wind farms in the nation of Australia. Each wind farm has an average of about 20 turbines each. That means there are about 1,000 turbines in Australia.
What are wind turbines made?
Wind energy is made by spinning turbines. The wind spins the wind turbines and they generate energy.
How do Wind turbines capture wind?
The wind turbines collect the wind's kinetic energy.
How do you access wind energy?
Wind energy can be harnessed with wind turbines.
Does wind turbines save energy inside?
wind turbines saves a huge amount of energy inside it
What are advantages of wind and wind turbines?
because wind and wind turbines turn in to energy and to make electricity!
What is mean by wind energy?
wind energy is energy that is caused by the wind a example of this is wind turbines
How reliable is wind turbines?
wind turbines are very reliable in production of wind energy which in turn helps in the production of electrical energy
How do you collect wind energy?
wind turbines
Do wind turbines use renewable sources of energy?
yes wind is a renewable source of energy and that is what turbines use
What type of energy enables turbines to move?
turbines are moved by wind energy
How much of our energy comes from wind energy source?
Actually, most of our energy comes from wind energy sources, like wind turbines. Wind turbines are used all around the world.
