Regular bulbs were banned here in EU several yrs ago, you now have to use either LEDs or the energy saving ones.
With regards to wind power - wind power is just one type of renewable energy. If you install it in an appropriate location, it will be quite useful. If it is installed at inappropriate, i.e. calm location, then it is not a problem of wind power plants as such, but with the fact whoever decided this was an idiot
If you live in a hot, sunny and calm area, then a more appropriate could be eg. solar panels etc. It is also about efficient energy grids and the way this renewable energy is distributed.
But you cannot generalize this and say that wind power is useless. It is only useless if you install it in places where it shouldnt be installed.
Just like building a coal power plant in a place where coal is N/A and then saying that coal powerplants are useless because this fuelless one is not generating anything
