Installing wind power in cities would make wind power several times more expensive. - Land in cities is far more expensive than the land where wind farms are currently built, so the electricity costs would be higher. - Cities are already densely built up so it would be much more difficult to get the long turbine blades delivered for installation, raising costs again. - Cities have worse wind resources because the built up environment impedes smooth, fast air flow. Turbines built in the middle of cities would generate less electricity over the course of a year, raising cost per kilowatt hour for a third time. You can't build efficient (megawatt scale) turbines on top of buildings, and little turbines are basically gimmicks that don't supply significant energy. Rooftop solar power generates more energy at lower cost than little rooftop turbines.
