"Wind energy is not as clean as its proponents would have us believe"
Agreed.
"the (heavily subsidised) scam that is wind power"
Not agreed. Methinks the protestor doth protest too much.
It still comes down to this, however many environmental faults that those who are opposed to it come up with, they can't actually say there's a better alternative.
As I said before, as someone who is apt to protest I know that protesting is the easy bit. The hard bit is suggesting a better way.
Incidentally, the fact that it has to be subsidised by me the taxpayer causes me no concern. That's the whole point about green energy, it's more expensive and we'd better pay now rather than later. I wish Bush, who said he'd never sign any environmental treaty that damaged the American economy, would grasp that basic fact.
