I can concede that windmills are very inefficient relative to a nuclear power plant. But relative to a solar farm? There isnt a comparison there. Windmills are able to capture roughly 60% of the energy passing through them while solar panels at best convert 20 - 30% of the energy received. There are individual wind turbines that are generating up to 14 MW. Here's a neat link comparing renewable energy efficiencies you might enjoy.
