Are wind farms good or bad?

Wind farms are considered as being good. They provide energy with no pollution. Downsides are no wind, no power. The windmills are also quite costly to make and maintain. In the 80's it was considered that a windmill would never be able to produce energy enough to cover the cost of its production. This has changed, possibly due to higher cost of electricity. Windmills are today considered a strong viable source of renewable energy. Regards.


What are some downsides to using wind powered energy?

Not many. There are some people who complain that the noise from spinning turbines is making them sick, but doctors have found no evidence of this. There is some evidence that bats and birds are injured or killed by the turbines, but again, there is conflicting evidence to say that flying creatures can and do easily avoid the blades.
