Best Answer

The cost to build and maintain machines to harvest the wind compared to how much energy they obtain and the long term benefits. There are also NIMBY concerns--Not In My Back Yard. A few environmentalists worry about the effects of wind power on owls and other fowl, though coal and oil power enthusiasts tend to Trumpet these concerns more than anyone else.

All in all, wind tends to be much cleaner and environmentally friendlier than most alternative energy sources.
