Are wind turbines good for the environment and why?

Yes they are, because they use non polluting wind power and provide energy that might otherwise require polluting sources of energy, such as coal, oil, or gas. The wind does not always blow enough to turn the blades, but, it does move enough to produce energy most of the time. Wind turbines do not pollute the wind, and they do minor damage to birds and bats. Nothing is perfect, and wind power is the energy that Probably does the least amount of damage to the environment, while providing an excellent source of energy most of the time.
