Green energy is the idea.

But to be honest, not much power is produced from each wind turbine, so they don't really help very much, that's why you need SO many of them. For instance a typical power station would be 2000 MW, a typical wind turbine is 2 MW. A typical power station could operate at 100% output for 90% of the time. A typical wind turbine operates at 50% output but is only operating for 50% of the time (when the wind is acceptable). So on average the power station can produce 1800MW whereas the wind turbine is about 0.5 MW.

Are there any problems pertaining to wind energy?

Wind energy is harnessed by windmills and wind turbines. These are very expensive to build and buy. Therefore, not every country in the world is able to afford it. Also, since winds do not always blow in the same area, wind energy is sometimes not produced. In some seasons and areas, there are very light winds, thus not producing a lot of energy.
