Answer:

wind power can be tracked back to sunlight since sunlight is one of the causes of moving air which is wind .

High temperature causes air to expand causing it to spread over a wider area decreasing it's pressure compared to places of lower temperature which causes air to contract causing a concentration of air molecules which increases its pressure . This two processes causes a pressure difference which leads to movement of air (wind) whose energy can be used to generate wind power.
