Note that local topography affects winds in mountainous areas, so a lot of effort has gone into mapping the best sites for wind turbines in the Appalachians. Penn State's football stadium is in such a wind-blasted spot; so was the PSU golf course, a lousy one but the wind made it tough.

Wyoming is so windy, there's been an effort to build a power line to export wind electricity to the Pacific coast.
