It's a cleaner greener non-polluting way of generating electricity. The old ways of burning coal and oil are only adding to greenhouse gases and the warming of the planet.
It's also used there because they get a lot of wind and technology is making it cost effective to install and employ, even on farms, buildings, and city housing.

What is the definition of wind energy?
The atmosphere gets its energy from the Sun. The Sun heats different air masses differently and these mix in a complex manner to produce the winds that blow in the atmosphere.
When did people start using wind energy?
Wind energy can be converted to electricity by wind turbines in many formats. The electricity an be used in anything.Wind energy can be converted directly to mechanical energy (Dutch Windmills) to power pumps or mills.Wind energy can be used as a motive force for sail boats and ice boats.It help green housewives dry their clothesKites use wind energy to lift weights and amuse children.Aeolian harps are made to play.Sailplanes or gliders use wind to power their flightTheo Jansen uses wind to make sculptures that walk across the land (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNA_bd0b1bw)An aside: Seems this could be made into a poem!
