The energy source is the Sun. The heat from the Sun warms the air in some places more than others. Areas with warmer air have lower pressure, and because fluids (gases and liquids) always move toward lower pressure, large amounts of higher pressure, cooler air move toward areas with lower pressure, warmer air.

Also, the Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis Effect, which determines the directions of many of the world's prevailing (general) wind patterns.
