The biggest downside to wind power is its unpredictability: wind blows from different directions, and at different speeds, making it hard to calculate how much power will be available.
A secondary problem is the nature of the turbine, or windmill. To generate wind power economically, they have to be large. This means a lot of land (or sea) area needs to be set aside for them, and (as with any other tall structure, such as a cell phone tower) there is a risk of injury or death from an accident during routine maintenance.
These obstacles don't necessarily make it bad to use the wind, but they do have to be taken into account before deciding on wind power as an option.
