Renewable energy sources like wind power are celebrated for their minimal carbon emissions. Unlike coal or oil, wind energy doesn’t release harmful pollutants into the air.

This makes it a favored option in the fight against climate change. However, while they reduce greenhouse gases, the physical presence of turbines can be disruptive.

As the world races to harness cleaner energy, it's crucial to balance this with the unforeseen consequences on local wildlife and habitats.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

That's nothing compared to the not-so-hidden cost on your utility bills.

Wind may be free, but Government Green mandates are not.
