Flew from Atlanta to Madrid a few years ago. As the aircraft approached the NW coast of Spain, in the early morning light, numerous wind mill farms could be spotted along the tops of mountain ridges. The same goes for southern Spain near Tarifa as you enter the Straits of Gibraltar. Spain probably is foremost in Europe in utilizing this power source.

Try Denmark and then Germany. Germany has the most installed capacity in the world. The Danish have the largest (consistent) percentage supplied by wind.

Of course the Dutch have been using wind power for centuries, so they win the longevity prize.
