Wind is not always constant or steady. Sometimes it dies down, and then no electricity is generated. In some places tornadoes or hurricanes may damage the fans. Also, the props kill bats and birds.
The disadvantages are pretty minor considering the advantages.
We currently do not have technology to make wind workable. Our systems are based on 28 MPH constant wind, a virtual impossible event. At 31 MPH gusts, systems produce zero power. Fossil fuel plants run at 100% of rated power to supplement these systems. This CO2 emission is just ignored as the plant is not actively producing power.
There is also the environmental impact of these towers. Millions of birds and bats are killed each year by the towers. Overall affect is negative to the planet. They produce almost zero power and less then they took for construction. They are negatives to the overall environment and should be banned.
To summarize:
1. They produce almost zero power
2. They cause increases in overall CO2 emission
3. They kill birds and other flying creatures
4. They are not reliable
5. They are UGLY! (My opinion)

What are some advantages and disadvantages of using wind energy to create electricity?
The advantage is that wind is renewable- it does not get used up. Disadvantages- the wind does not always blow, it does not blow at a constant speed, and it does not always blow where electricity is needed. It can be costly to generate and store electricity from wind energy.
What are some disadvantages of wind energy source?
wind is not friendly to the environment ,as fossil fuels are not burnt to generate electricity.
Bad things about wind power?
Wind power depends on using wind to make electricity.
How can a wind energy used to generate heat?
by using of its blade like a wind mill that generated electricity using it blades that moving by the wind
Why does wind generate electricity?
Wind itself does not generate electricity, but using wind turbines it is converted into mechanical energy and the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. "Simply stated, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. Take a look inside a wind turbine to see the various parts. View the wind turbine animation to see how a wind turbine works."

Lack of wind is the main disadvantage.
