bigger wind turbines spread out larger and colect more energy

A larger wind turbine is more efficient than a small one, and costs less to operate per KWH. For example, if you had two 750KW turbines, your total output of energy would be 1.5MW. You would have to have enough area to erect them and they can't be too close together. Then, you would have to pay for maintenance on two units as well as any repairs that may have to be made. Now, if you had just one 1.5MW turbine, you would require less space to erect it, and only have to maintenance and repair one unit. It would cost more to purchase initially, but would save expenses in the long run. And, you could get more energy from the same area as well.
