Almost none of the world's power comes from wind currently. It may be possible to create 3 to 4% of the world's power from wind, but it has many drawbacks. The two most prominent being the need to run fossil fuel plants at idle (thus only feel good savings) and the fact they killed 100K birds just in Massachusetts alone. They have no real useful power and should be banned from an environmental standpoint.

Yes they did kill lots of birds but there there is a new sanctuary for them elsewhere already. They generate 2% of the worlds power and, although this doesn't sound like much, is a huge amount of energy. They shouldn't be banned, they should be promoted. (see discussion)
