I actually like how wind turbines look. (Although so many don't seem to turn)
The ecological impact on birds is being ignored (by the left), but the economical and environmental benefits look promising, if unproven by time.
Like most political statistics, the numbers from either side will be exaggerated, but from personal experience (living in the southwest) we have a lot of empty land that would be perfect for it -and they're popping up faster than weeds, so why not try it for now?
Of course, I would also like to see how difficult it would be to remove them if they prove unfeasible. Will they end up like abandoned oil platforms?
