I assume you have a list of city_windArea structures, and you want
to make a list of their number_built fields.

You do that using a single loop with 2 foreachs.  After the loop, you can
use the new list:

  ( foreach(city_windArea{number_built: Ni}, WindACVars),
    foreach(Ni, List) do
       true
  ),
  % now we are ready to use List

You don't need the sum1 auxiliary.  Just write directly

   Cost $= 2000000 * sum(List).
