The energy transformation in a wind up toy is potential energy --> Kinetic energy
wind pushes on the blades of the wind turbine which pass on this motion to the generator to produce electricity. The energy and the speed of a wind turbine depend on the blade pitch control which depends on the angel of the blade chord to the plane of rotation. The blade pitch determines the speed of the turbine which also depends on the wind speed. Energy is directly proportional to the speed of the turbine. Therefore, the energy produced by a turbine depends on both the wind speed and the blade pitch angle. By: Amin Elsersawi
There is no energy when there is no wind. Also, it is expensive to initially set up.

Setting up wind mills can be expensive but using the wind energy for everyday appliances can actually save you up to $2000 a year.
Kinetic energy
Just like slowpitch just faster and with a wind up.
potential to acoustic energy
It is the kinetic energy in the wind, which is half the mass times the velocity-squared, summed up for every small element of air in the wind.
so they get more wind
Sorry, but Wind is a renewable source of energy. When you capture the energy of the wind and turn it into electricity you don't use up the wind, like we are using up oil. There will always be more wind blowing, if not tomorrow, then the next day.
Wind Energys potential is that it generates electricity & and using wind to pump up water.
Wind (air) may have a bit of gravitational potential energy, since it's up there and not on the ground. But the real, substantial energy of wind, and the energy we take out of it to turn things and generate electrical energy, is its kinetic energy. That's the reason that 'windmill farms' are built in places with steady wind. If there's no wind, then there's no kinetic energy available to be robbed from it.
