No! They are great sources of electricity and energy, a natural and green way!

Well, some argue that they create visual and noise pollutions.

Although the wind itself causes no pollution, when wind turbines are used as a way of generating electricity they require a back up for times when the wind is not blowing. This back-up is typically powered by natural gas which is a fossil fuel and does cause pollution. So if the wind was constant and consistent there would be no pollution however this is not the case and so there is still some pollution associated with wind power.
