A 1MW wind turbine will produce enough electricity to power 1,500 average sized homes. Because wind is not a constant, wind turbines are a secondary source of electricity and will never replace other sources. This being their big drawback.

London by has 8,000,000 residents. If you were to assume 2 residents per household, that would be 4 million homes. Requiring 2,667 1MW turbines. 10,000 to run the city. 12-15,000, to run NYC. Vestas, the largest maufactures of wind turbines has capacities of 1-3MW. Which means 3,000 for London, and 5,000 for NYC, respectively.
