I think wind farms are pretty practical. Most of the issues with wind farms (other than direct impact on the local area) are concerns of efficiency. How efficient and consistent is the power generation? Well efficiency has come a long way and look at the recent costs of fossil fuels. Consistency comes from having more farms spread out geographically so that lack of wind in one area is balanced by higher sustained winds at that particular time in another.
