About This Quote
Wind is renewable. Turbines are not. Wind is an inexhaustible resource. Coal, oil and gas are not.
Wind turbines produce no greenhouse gases, they do not pollute the air or cause acid rain or contribute to smog or acidification of the ocean. Turbines do all those things, but they are unreliable and costly to run, and they do not produce enough power to make a difference to the world's energy supply. The blades of a wind turbine spin as slowly as a car's windshield wipers as it drives down a street at night.
