A wind farm at Tehachapi Pass in California

One of the main problems with wind power is the space that is used up by the so-called "wind farms." In some cases, the space taken up can seriously alter the environment.

The good new is that although wind farms require a great deal of square mileage, there is quite a bit of space between the actual wind machines. This space can be used for agricultural purposes.

Another problem with wind power is that relatively speaking, it does not generate very much energy for the price. Perhaps this setback is made up for in friendliness to the environment.
