As wind victims and others who are fighting the battle against the assault on our countries by industrial wind turbines and multi-national wind corporations, we often get accused of being anti-earth and for coal. It's hard to get people to understand that this is not the case.
We each have our own personal reasons for fighting against giant industrial wind machines and that doesn't mean we're "for" pollution.
What do you think?

It depends on your definition of Pollution? It would appear to me that almost everything being done in the name of 'Green Energy' causes a different kind of pollution. Of Course CO2 does cause pollution but this pollution is negated by forrests and other folliage / crops converting the CO2 into oxygen, but trees are being destroyed to build wind farms and produce bio-fuel. Bio-fuel production also requires using areas that were previously used to grow food.
Off-shore wind farms could upset the delicate balance of marine life, and also could help destroy sea-grass & coastal wetlands which remove even more CO2 from the air than trees do.
Heat absorbed by solar panels could radiate back into the atmosphere at night, potentially heating it up.

I've always been extremely concerned about off-shore wind farms due to their vibrations and infrasounds.
We all know that many forms of sea life use sonic communications. How do these massive noise-making structures affect that vital process?
