The largest individual wind turbine available today is the Enercon E-126 costing $3.5 million, which can generate about 20 million kilowatt hours per year.
The electricity consumption of the USA is approximately 3,892,000,000,000 kWh/year, therefore, assuming only these turbine were used, and they were sited suitably to receive an appropriate spread of wind over them throughout the year, the number of turbines required would be 194,600. Which would bring the total cost to $681,100,000,000
Answer
The above answer is a great start! There are a few missing elements though. Wind systems are never able to receive wind consistently. Typical wind averages are closer to 5 to 10%. That multiplies the number by ten. Additionally, the grid itself consumes massive amounts of power. Which would more than double the number again. Multiplying the above number by twenty would be a start point. That also assumes that all units would work at all times and that backup fossil fuel plants would be available and idling.
There are 103 reactors operating in the U.S., located at 64 sites in 31 states, which produce 20 percent of the country's electricity.
A: none
The above answer appears to be very dated. There are a large number of wind turbines in Minnesota, enough to have over 2000 Megawatts of generating capacity.
I am not completely sure but i think that a wind farm is just a group of wind turbines, I don't think it needs a exact number.

You can calculate the amount of paint needed by finding the square footage of the room to be painted. Each manufacturer has a recommendation as to how many square feet a gallon of paint will cover. Make sure to calculate for primer if needed and or a second coat of finish.

Many things can be made out of clay, like potts, mugs, pans, bowls, and many many other useful things.

Thanet Offshore Wind Farm has 100 x 3MW turbines.
The amount of wind turbines in a wind farm can vary from one farm to another. They can have as few as five or as many as 150 wind turbines. One of the largest wind farms is Alta Wind Energy center in Kern County, California. It has over 4,800 wind turbines.
The Tehachapi Wind Farm, with around 5,000 wind turbines, is the second largest collection of wind generators in California.
About 1 million wind turbines would be needed to power the entire United States.
About 1 million wind turbines would be needed to power the entire United States.
The amount of wind turbines that are in a wind farm simply depends upon how big the wind farm is. Wind farms can be of all sizes, and some are located in open areas, while others are in water.
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.
It has to be twenty at the least but 25- 30 is the average
