The larger wind turbines have EROEI values of up to 35. The energy payback time is as little as three months. Of course that depends on the quality of the wind resource. The raw energy content of one barrel of oil is about 1.5 MWh. A 3 MW wind turbine with a .35 capacity factor produces about 25 MWh/day. The wind power industry is booming because the energy return on energy invested is higher than for most other renewables, and far higher than oil from the tar sands of Canada.
only stupid people post these kind of dumb questions

You don't have to ask hypothetical questions. Just look up "wind power" on Wikipedia and start reading.
