    Anywhere where there is regular windspeeds over 6m/s, since that’s where most wind turbines ‘cut in’ and start producing power.

    Almost any ocean and anywhere that’s not a forest! Some areas are just more expensive than others (eg top of a mountain, middle of a forest)

    The United States, China and Europe are currently the biggest wind power markets in the world and are growing fast.

    There are wind turbines powering research bases in Antarctica. and farms being built in Australia, Russia, Japan, Mexico, Russia & India. Very few countries can’t use wind, but the biggest use will probably be in China, the US and EU for the foreseeable future.

    As I know, every place is suitable for a wind power network, since wind is blowing even in deserted area. It’s known that in a wind power installation , the system deliver enough energy to charge the battery power in it . So you can always get power 24/24.
    the windpower cost is extremly important since it earns you much money ( nearly the half) of paying your power bills
