 The power of the wind increases as the square of velocity. 
Umm, actually, wind power increases with the cube of the velocity.
 
Double the wind speed and the power goes up by a factor of eight.  It's why hurricanes and tornadoes are so damned destructive.
 
Total wind power, Pt = (ρACi3)/2
  
 Where, ρ = density of air
 A = swept area perpendicular to wind direction

 Ci = incoming wind velocity 

 
 
Cheers.
