We should be - given that we are now dependent on a huge pipeline coming from Russia to supply us with mains gas ! That supply is vulnerable to failure for many reasons - and we should have a contingency plan in place as an alternative.
We should be prepared to sacrifice 'picture postcard' landscapes in favour of wind turbines. Sustainable power is more important than pretty scenery !
What else can I help you with?

I'm not sure about the UK, but in 2007 there were about 100,000 birds killed by wind turbines
How many wind turbines are in the UK?

What types of energy does the UK use?
natural gases, nuclear generators, cogeneration, wind turbines, coal and oil. And their are lots of renewables(e.g. wind turbines, solar panels...) possible more overall
Where does the UK gets its energy from?
wind turbines,coal,etc
Where is the best place in the UK for wind turbines?
Scotland & Northern Ireland.
Where have wind turbines been used successfully in the UK?
Britain has the largest offshore wind farm in the world, the 175-turbines of the London Array wind farm, off the Kentcoast.
Should the UK make more wind farms?
there are advantages of building windfarms and there are disadvantages of building them. I have no time to improve this answer.
In UK there more wind turbines and less solar cells why?
The UK is windier than some countries, and less sunny than others (especially in the middle of Winter like now!)
How many wind turbines do you need to replace a coal power station in the UK?
Both wind turbines and coal power stations come in different sizes, so there is no quick formula to convert one to the other.

Which state has the most wind turbines?
Well, I am not sure about the state but I know that one of the Top 5 Countries to have the most wind turbines is UK. Has 186 wind farms holding 2,120 electrical producing wind turbines Can power over 1.5 million homes and saved up to 6 million tons of carbon i heard its California
What are the disadvantage of a wind turbine?
There Aren't many disadvantages only the cement used for the base and the cost for building and transporting it.AnswerThere are very few advantages. Wind turbines are one of the most expensive forms of energy generation, made affordable only because of enormous subsidies which are then passed on to consumers as elevated energy bills. They only produce a fraction of their rated capacity for most of the time. Their energy output is completely unpredictable. In the case of the UK, none is made in the UK, so taxpayers money is used to employ foreign workers to manufacture them and to increase the profits of foreign companies.On the other hand, if you are a landowner (paid to have them on their land), or a wind turbine manufacturer, or a wind turbine worker, then wind turbines are wonderful!
