Communities opposed to wind turbines in their local area do not have an "acceptable moral position" according to a climate change expert.
Dozens of large-scale wind farm applications are being considered as Wales tries to reach net zero.
Campaigners say the ambition is putting the Welsh countryside at risk and south Wales already has several wind farms.
Lord Deben, the UK Climate Change Committee chairman, said the onus was on everyone to help reach the target.
"We can't all the time say we're in favour of things but somewhere else," he said.
