What has to be built for wind energy to be used?

Wind Turbines. They have a motor inside of them that produces energy when the blades of the turbine turn and when they turn energy is generated by the wind turning the blades and the motor. <><><> In addition to the wind turbines, you need a grid of powerlines to carry the electricity to where it will be used. This frequently costs more than the wind turbines.
