Here's a calculation I did regarding the electricity required to run an auto plant.

A typical manufacturing plant uses approximately 650,000 KWH per 24 hour day.

A typical wind turbine only produces approx. 21.6 KWH per 24 hour day.

Relying solely on wind power, it would take approx. 30,000 wind turbines to power one auto plant.

Just a little correction. A large wind turbine can generate 4MW,or 100,000 kWh per day. So it would take 7 large wind turbines running at full capacity round the clock. But it would require an equal capacity gas-powered plant to back it up.
