To say that it is needed is perhaps wrong but to say that it is desirable as a form of energy generation in correct. The main reason cited is that is is a sustainable source of energy (i.e. there will always be wind and the production of energy from wind turbines has no detrimental impact on the environment (other of course you dislike the aesthetic impact) as opposed to the burning of fossil fuels or the risk of readio-active contamination from nuclear power plants.

Where can I learn about windmill power and the equipment needed?
There's a book called "Homebrew Wind Power" by Dan Bartmann and Dan Fink that covers wind power and the equipment needed in depth. The authors also have a comprehensive website that covers wind power at otherpower.com. The best place online to get information on Windmill power and the equipment required is http://www.windmillpe.ca/. Also try http://www.vandermolencorp.com/.
Why is wind power not used to generate electricity needed for large cities?
Simply because of the space that would be needed for the wind-turbines ! The amount of power produced by a single wind turbine is relatively small. In order to power a large city, you would need thousands of turbines - which would occupy huge swathes of land !
How much wind is needed to produce 12volt dc?
It's not the amount of wind, but the design of the generator, that decides what voltage is produced. The amount of wind will determine the power produced.
Some argue that wind power should be use more than it is now what argument could someone make against the use of wind power?
It is expensive to build and maintain wind turbines. Where the wind is blowing is often not where the electricity is needed. The wind may not be blowing when there is a demand for electricity.
How can wind make power?
If you have wind mills, the wind can give a lot of electricity because the mill will absorb the amount of potential energy needed to produce the amount of kinetic energy.
