excellent points , wind farms protect land and offer us the best compromise for getting power with low environmental impacts.
i for one find them enchantingly beautiful , monuments to both the intelligence and sensitivity of humans.
There are lots of designs beyond the big spinning blade models , you can use the vibration of taught threads and vertical rotating blades
(think spinning signs) so its possible to fit wind generation to lots of different sites.
the answer to the question of where to get our power is that there is not one answer but many little distributed answers :)
