Wow, this got buried fast.
But it is worth considering. Hrm, Seems like Holland is known for its windmills.
Vast lands in the midwest that are unsuitable for farming are being turned into wind-farms. This is controversial because it is subsidized so it's difficult to do a cost-benefit analysis.
Finally, if climate-change is an issue, we should also consider that wind take energy out of the atmosphere whereas the proposed alternatives put waste energy into the atmosphere.

- vidanay 9y agoAre you referring to the midwest of the United States? Where are these "vast lands" that are unsuitable to farming? The wind farms are being build right in the middle of what is arguably the best farm land on the planet. Source: I live on that farm land, and I have a turbine ~3000' from my bedroom window.
