The green tag attached to windmills exempt them from environmental clearance which leads to mindless destruction of nature with impunity.
Kathleen Hartnett White
Although appealing to many, wind power is an extremely expensive, inefficient, and unreliable source of electricity, incapable of providing base load power. Wind's intermittency, variability, line loss, necessary back-up generation, transmission needs, and dispatch complexity limit the amount of electricity wind can secure. Ever larger mandates and subsidies will not make wind power more economically viable, as the European experience now demonstrates.
Keith Martin
Federal tax benefits pay as much as 65% of the capital cost of wind
power projects in the United States.

There's no getting around it, (turbines) do kill birds and they do kill bats.
Kieran Devine
