Well one reason i oppose wind farms is due to what i think the effect of too many being built would be, like; ruining wind patterns, weakening water currents, heating the planet faster, destroying agriculture, causing droughts, concentrating pollution and the effects of more widespread magnetic fields than we already have(like destroying migratory patterns, radiation poisoning, cancer, etc).
Personally i feel that wind power is more dangerous than coal, oil and nuclear power combined.

Is it possible no one told you about this?
Really, wind is more dangerous??
Please quantify.
Fukushima Accident 2011

Apr 27, 2012 ... Following a major earthquake, a 15-metre tsunami disabled the power supply and cooling of three Fukushima Daiichi reactors, causing a ...
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a division of the Interior Department, is considering loosening regulations on the killing of bald eagles, the national bird of the United States, to accommodate the development of wind energy sources.
A draft regulation first filed in April would allow businesses to apply for 30-year permits allowing them to kill bald eagles in the course of other legal activities. The length of those permits would be a six-fold increase over the five-year window allowed under current law.

Yes, you guessed it, the Koch brothers are hatching even more cartoonishly sinister plans to discredit, of all things, RENEWABLE ENERGY??? Only billions of dollars can buy you the kind of propaganda efforts (via right-wing media and paid shills) that would convince average dupes to rail against renewable energy.
I HOPE people see through this. But if the whole climate skeptic "movement" is any sign, then here's yet another wildfire of stupidity that will have to be put out by scientists, intelligent people, and those who actually care about our world (instead of profits/ideology).
Please people, if you're reading this, don't believe their well-crafted propaganda, and don't say you weren't given a heads-up...

How pathetic!
The best you can do is cite a HuffPo blog that relies upon suspicion and innuendo in the face of facts?
Wind energy has already been revealed to be a false god for the "green" faithful.
Where does the steel come from for the base and towers? That is NOT renewable.
Where does the concrete and rebar for the pad and platform come from? They are NOT renewable.
Where do the rare earth elements for the turbines and generators come from? They are NOT renewable.
Where do the back-up and storage entourage come from? They are NOT renewable.
What happens after 5 years, when the mechanisms of generation are worn out? They are NOT renewable.
What happens when the wind doesn't blow, or blows too fast?
The false belief in wind energy as a legitimate alternative is indicative of a narrow-minded focus on a faulty means to an unattainable end.
What a simplistic position for an unsupportable agenda!

Let's see what i hate is within the last 3 years tax payer money is being given to green corporations because a certain group of people are going around screaming save the planet.
Tax credits,rebates and cash being paid corporations that is your money that is lining their pockets I do not support anyone who tells me i have to go buy anything whether or not is health insurance or solar panels or wind power.
They are nothing but pure fascists after all fascist is when the government and corporations merge.
