1 - That's a lot compared to most places, but its still not a major fraction of energy use.
Of course not, that's not the point which your missing.

2 - You only get that much through heavy subsidies. That much wind production doesn't make economic sense but if you run your economy through tossing money to whatever is the political favorite, you can get all sorts of weird things.
Oil still gets subsidies, tobacco still gets subsidies, education, all kinds of research, etc etc........ Good ideas should get subsidies.....

3 - Europe's wind power has even less to do with Keystone then wind power in the US.
The main point still eludes you....
