First law: "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change forms."
Second law: The entropy of an isolated system not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium.
Third law: As temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a system approaches a constant minimum.

So what we are saying is that yes, with enough windmill generators, there is the potential to remove all the energy from the wind (and convert it to electricity), but that it is the wind that would die, and not the energy itself.
