It is very efficient because it is renewable, it doesn't use much electricity, it produces quite a bit of energy when in huge groups called wind farms, and is pretty money-saving to make.

Is wind energy efficient?
yes, but not as efficient as other sources that polute more
How efficient are wind turbines?
They are not very effecient. a wind turbine that is 50 % effecient is very effecient compared to other wind turbines. this is because most of the kinetic energy is changed into heat instead of electrical energy.
Why are wind turbines located in windy places?
Because more wind = more energy = more electricity generation per wind turbine = most cost efficient use of wind power.
Why are wind turbines not 100 percent efficient?
In any machine some energy is always lost as heat. In a wind turbine most of this will be created by friction between parts.
Is energy more efficient than wind energy?
what is that energy you are referring to, if your energy means to Oil & gas,Yes Wind energy in comparision to the energy generated from fossil fuel is much safer and reliable.As this is the era were almost all the fossil fuels are started to come to an end .Wind energy is the future.in the Wind energy United States stand top with 25,172 Mw of installed CapacityAnswerWind turbines are a very inefficient way of generating electrical energy; if they were not heavily subsidised, no sane person would even consider using wind turbines.
Is wind energy succesful?
Wind energy is one of the most eco friendly energy source but is not as efficient as others
Is wind energy efficient?
yes, but not as efficient as other sources that polute more
Is a wind turbine energy efficient?
YES But only if you don't consider the massive amounts of energy required to make the wind turbine and get it into position. The actual energy conversion from wind to electricity is not great but it is free.
What type of energy is more efficient than fossil fuel energy?
renewable energy, for example solar energy, hydroelectric energy and Wind Energy.
Conducts a program to promote more efficient use of energy including solar wind tidal and other renewable resources?

Can wind energy be used by a single home?
Yes, wind energy turbines can be installed on a home. However, at the current time it is less efficient than solar panels at this scale.
Why are wind turbines located in windy places?
Because more wind = more energy = more electricity generation per wind turbine = most cost efficient use of wind power.
How do I remodel my house to be energy efficient?
To remodel your house to make it more energy efficient, in order to cut down on some electricity bills is a good idea. Some of the energies that you can move onto is Solar panels and wind energy.
What type of coal is the most energy efficient?
Natural Gas, Solar Energy, Wind Power. The best type of coal and the most energy efficient is the coal that's still buried in the ground... LEAVE IT THERE!! TJ Daniels poet
What is the energy of the wind turbines?
A very Modern HIGH TECH wind turbine would be about 40-50% efficient in converting the winds kinetic energy into mechanical energy in the turbine. Then of course, the generator would be 90-98% efficient for a VERY efficient generator. The German physicist Albert Betz that the maximum efficiency of converting wind kinetic energy to mechanical energy is 59%. This number was derived from a lengthy and accurate physics calculation. This limitation is due to the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. Think of it this way, if all the kinetic energy of the wind has to go to the wind turbine, then all the wind particles would loose all their kinetic energy and stop completely. The wind particles would just build up and stop more wind from flowing past if this was true. A heat engine is similar but the efficiency increases as the temperature of the engine increases relative to its surroundings. That is why bigger engines (think power stations) are more efficient, because they can run at higher temperatures.
Is wind energy more efficient than hydroelectric energy?
Yes, but only because Hydroelectric generated electricity can be produced 24/7.
