Almost none of the world's power comes from wind currently. It may be possible to create 3 to 4% of the world's power from wind, but it has many drawbacks. The two most prominent being the need to run fossil fuel plants at idle (thus only feel good savings) and the fact they killed 100K birds just in Massachusetts alone. They have no real useful power and should be banned from an environmental standpoint.

Yes they did kill lots of birds but there there is a new sanctuary for them elsewhere already. They generate 2% of the worlds power and, although this doesn't sound like much, is a huge amount of energy. They shouldn't be banned, they should be promoted. (see discussion)
What else can I help you with?
Are wind power and wind energy the same?
Yes, wind power and wind energy are often used interchangeably to refer to the electricity generated from harnessing the power of wind. Wind power is a renewable energy source that comes from converting wind into electricity through wind turbines.
What percent of the world's energy comes from wind energy?
Wind energy accounts for around 5% of the world's total energy production.
Where does wind power come from?
Wind power is generated by harnessing the kinetic energy produced by the movement of air. As wind blows, it turns the blades of wind turbines, converting the energy into electricity. Wind power is a renewable energy source that is abundant and clean.
How much power is produced by wind power?
The amount of power produced by wind power varies depending on factors such as wind speed, turbine size, and location. On average, a typical onshore wind turbine can produce between 2 to 3 megawatts (MW) of power, while offshore wind turbines can produce even more.
How much of the worlds energy is generated using windmills?
Approximately 6.1% of the world's energy is generated using wind turbines.
How much wind does the US produce to the worlds wind energy?
Wind power is not generated by countries, it is a global phenomena.
What percent of the worlds energy comes from wind turbines?
About 1%
How are solar and wind power different?
solar power comes from the sun and is generated from solar pannals. wind power comes from the wind and is generated from wind mills.
Where is wind power?
wind power comes from the wind but the wind is not all also you don't need the wind all the time.
When does wind power NOT produce power?
When there's no wind and when there's too much wind.
How does wind power get energy to houses?
Wind power generates electricity. This is fed into the grid and comes along the power lines to your house.
How does wind power form energy?
It comes from my house :]
Are wind power and wind energy the same?
Yes, wind power and wind energy are often used interchangeably to refer to the electricity generated from harnessing the power of wind. Wind power is a renewable energy source that comes from converting wind into electricity through wind turbines.
What percent of the world's energy comes from wind energy?
Wind energy accounts for around 5% of the world's total energy production.
Does wind power waste?
No, there is no waste because wind is a natural resource and it comes from the sun.
How widely used is wind energy?
1% of austraila's electricity comes from wind power.
How did wind energy get its name?
It is power that comes from the wind that is caused by moving air particles.
