Environmental Effects

Compared to the environmental effects of traditional energy sources, the environmental effects of wind power are relatively minor. Wind power consumes no fuel, and emits no air pollution, unlike fossil fuel power sources.
Danger to birds and bats has been a concern in some locations. Aesthetics have also been an issue.

If you do live along the coast, your personal property is rather expensive and you might not be able to afford the opportunity to afford the land, let alone a wind generator. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some would feel that having 100 wind turbines sitting outside your picture window is an eyesore.Wind turbines give off interference to television and radio signals. Wind energy is that wind turbines are noisy. They have the hum and also a "whooshing noise" when the blade turns.
