The green crowd loves wind power. They just don't know that those wind generators can each require up to 2000 gallons of oil to operate. Each and every one of them.
They require a lot of oil. Which really cannot be fully recycled.
The life of the power producing generator is relatively short, and it cannot generate power on its own, it has to be energized.
The blades have a very finite life, and they can't be truly recycled, they take up a massive amount of space when discarded.
They operate poorly, or not at all, in extreme weather. They ice like an aircraft, and have to be de-iced with helicopters and massive amounts of de-icing fluid.
