Why I hate windfarms and think there should be more of them

Event renewable energy sources has adverse environmental impacts. In the case of wind power these are visual and aesthetic. Because of the low energy density of wind power many wind turbines spread over a wide area are required to generate realistic amounts of electricity. To replace the typical output of one conventional power station, for example, 10,000 wind turbines would be required. Moreover they have to be sited in exposed upland areas making them highly visible. However, wind farms have almost no ecological impact, pose no health risks, combine well with traditional land uses such as agriculture, can be decommissioned easily, safety and quickly if necessary, and their components can be re-used and recycled. In the light of all the advantages they offer, the aesthetic price is one we should be prepared to pay. (UK)
