Thats no big deal,there are lots of good ones still producing power all around them.

Yes, and there have never been any problems related to oil drilling, transportation, or refining,.. You are being disingenuous if this is your argument against wind energy.

Wind turbines occasionally catch fire and spew pollution. With coal, we light it on fire on purpose and it spews pollution every single day.
But are wind turbines required to have scrubbers on them to the smoke?

Wind energy is not cost effective. My good friend Don Grieder, who is deceased now, had 106 patents in the green energy field. He strongly believed that wind turbines were a waste of the government's financial resources. He wrote several papers on the inefficacy of wind turbines. Don believed the most efficient use of solar energy was in heating water. He believed that new technology would make solar panels more efficient and cost effective at producing electricity, but without subsidies, they weren't worth installing yet. Keith

And everyone in the industry knows that these turbines will never pay for themselves. But at least GE made millions in tax credits off of US tax payers.

Windmills have been doing all kinds of work for centuries.Long before they were used to produce electricity. Same with watermills. Green energy is nothing new.
