Oh great! Let's see: not only is it extremely costly to produce wind-powered electricity; all wind-power capacity has to have back-up for when the wind isn't blowing; it injures and kills tens of thousands of birds including endangered raptors; the towers/blades are eyesores; the blades are not recyclable; and, fina!ly, it drives up the cost of our precious balsa and makes it more scarce! So, how is this a great environmental technology?
