Each one of these gigantic wind generators can supply power to 600 homes each year. I have done a small amount of research and have found no downside to this and I wondered... why are we using more of this? They don't take up much groundspace so we can continue growing crops on this land. So we can grow crops that can either feed animals or humans or we an grow crops to be used for other renewable energy sources like bio fuels and ethenols.
