They disrupt the weather. Studies in other countries have shown this, but they've been denying it here for years. My family's farm has a bunch of these hideous eyesores about 20 miles to the West...has for about 10-15 years. You can literally sit and watch the weather radar as all but the most powerful rain events are broken up as they go over the wind farm. They regroup about 5-10 miles east of our farm.

FGS, you can see wind farms on a clear radar...so how is it even debatable that they affect atmospheric conditions?

Plus, they are a blight on the landscape, will be nearly impossible to deal with as they rot....and they kill birds.

another thing Trump was right about.

5 Oct: Bloomberg: Revealing the Dark Side of Wind Power
Surprising new research suggests harvesting cleaner energy may have serious consequences for the environment.
By Mark Buchanan
Moreover, they found that wind plants encompassing the largest areas had the lowest power densities, as expected.

This figure implies that meeting current U.S. electricity needs alone would require wind farms to cover fully 12 percent of the U.S. land area…

then there’s this!

7 June 2018: Daily Mail: Britain Becalmed: Turbines across the UK are at a STANDSTILL after wind ‘disappears’ for a week causing a two-year low in electricity production
•Since the start of June, wind farms have been producing barely any electricity
•The ‘wind drought’ has meant turbines have generated less than two per cent of the country’s power this month
By Joe Pinkstone

Forecasts show the calm conditions will continue until the middle of the month...

A drop-off like this in winter could be catastrophic should the UK become reliant upon renewable energy sources...
