Read through the case against wind farms and then tell me you still think they're a good thing.....just because they're sustainable doesn't mean they're environmentally sound.

Wind Turbines vs. Energy Saving - a case study
There are 1,628,000 houses in the UK with pitched roof and no roof insulation*
3780 kWh of energy are lost by each such house each year.*
Insulation to 1990 Building Regulations standard would save 3375 kWh p.a.*
The annual output of a 750 kW turbine is 1.64 m units.
Insulating 485 houses would save that amount of energy each year.
New funding arrangements will give wind energy a subsidy of 2p per unit.
The annual subsidy of the turbine will be £32,850.
The cost of insulation is a one-off £122 per house, say £60,000 for 485 houses.
Over the 100 year life of the houses, the energy saving cost averages £600 pa
Saving pollution by insulation is 55 times more cost-effective than saving it by wind turbines!
