The CO2 you would be releasing has only been out of circulation for a few thousand years, so it wasn't too long ago that it was part of the ecosystem. The CO2 from coal on the other hand has been out of the ecosystem for millions of years.

Wind farms are an odd one. The question of long term maintenance without fossil fuels bothers me. However, at the moment they seem a necessary step forward. There is a right and a wrong place to build them though. And Lewis never seemed like a good idea to me.
