It requires 50% more coal-generated electricity to cover wind power’s unpredictability, and pollution and carbon dioxide emissions have risen (by 36% in 2006 alone). Have you noticed how, when archaeologists dig up some ruin from a few thousand years ago, they generally label it a religious artefact, a temple to some forgotten deity or some such? Imagine, in a few millenia, the archeologists digging up the remnants of the foundations of tens of thousands of windmills, and proclaiming them to be evidence of some ancient superstition? They'll be right.
