Wind Turbines Generate Electricity and Controversy: a series on whats  in the wind.

There is a small but growing number of citizens that detest the increase in wind farms across Australia, Canada, Europe and the United States. Their goal is ostensibly to protect residents by banning new wind turbines from being built and site the cumulative negative impacts on animals, people and the environment as justification. Eric Rosenbloom of wind-watch.org sums up the complaint this way “It’s well past time to stop considering what wind might do and to examine what it has done. It has not reduced fossil fuel use or emissions. It has only ruined a lot of landscape and communities, fragmented habitat and killed birds and bats”.
