They are popular because people believe they provide power and have some use.
They are unpopular for three reasons:
1. Their power output is seriously over rated.
2. They are ugly and people hate the skyline being ruined by them
3. They kill birds and bats. Massachusetts alone loses 100K birds a year.

What are facts about wind farms?

How many feet wide is a wind turbine?
Wind turbine vary enormously in size from a small turbine on a boat with blades about two feet in diameter to large industrial 'wind farms' the blades of which are individually dozens of feet long
How much does normal wind turbine cost?
Depends on what you mean by normal! A home wind turbine can cost between $7,000 and $100,000. Industrial turbines (that you see on wind farms) cost 1-2 million.
How do wind farms get electricity online?
the wind pushes the turbine which is like a reversed electric engine and causes electricity and gets to wires
What kind of device is a wind turbine?
A wind turbine is a device that converts wind energy into electrical power. It consists of blades mounted on a rotor connected to a generator, which produces electricity as the blades spin in the wind. Wind turbines are typically used in wind farms to generate renewable energy.
Why would traffic lanes be necessary on wind farms?

What is the heaviest wind turbine?
The GE Haliade-X offshore wind turbine is currently one of the heaviest wind turbines in the world, with a total weight of around 900 tons. It has a rotor diameter of 220 meters and is designed to generate large amounts of electricity in offshore wind farms.
Where do humans collect wind?
People have constructed wind turbines to harness (not collect) the energy from wind(s). In some areas, there are wind turbine "farms" with windmills set up across hillsides and the landscape.
How many blades should i put on my model wind turbine?
The number of blades in wind turbine is not determined by aesthetics but by science. The size, shape, solidarity, and positioning is determined by the weather conditions and power output. Current tubbiness include turbines using vortexes (no blades) and high solidarity turbines (12 blades) once popular on farms to pump water.If the model is a replica of actual turbine the number of blades in the model will be the same as the number in the actual unit.
Why are people against wind farms?
People oppose wind farms for several reasons, including concerns about their impact on local wildlife, particularly birds and bats, which can be harmed by turbine blades. Additionally, some argue that wind farms can disrupt scenic landscapes and negatively affect property values. Noise pollution from turbine operation and potential health issues for nearby residents are also common criticisms. Lastly, there are concerns about the reliability and efficiency of wind energy compared to traditional energy sources.
