A few thoughts for consideration:
We need a mix of power sources, one size doesn't fit all.
Rotor tips do a max of 180-200 mph.
Wind farms pay significant taxes and landowner payments are equally significant.
Wind farms make it economically possible to keep land in grass and untilled.
Almost everyone got something for Christmas that plugs in and uses electricity.
Wind farms have no fuel costs and operating them doesn't pollute.
Wind turbines kill birds. So do cars and trucks.
Wind farms require a lot of concrete, steel, copper and other materials.
Nothing is perfect, everything requires tradeoffs.
