While people may be in favor of wind farms so often they know only what someone else tells them rather than those who actually maintain the generators. Notice who subsidizes them. Notice how long they last. I once lived in a state that had them and some men I knew who worked on them basically said the matter is a joke. They do not last nearly as long as people are told. The generators and gearboxes come from mostly Germany and India while the majority come from India. They are not quite what people think they are. It is much like renaming auto crashes to auto accidents. If people actually knew how many crashes there were per day would they still drive a car? A lot of what drives these things is politics and money. If money were completely removed from the politicians things would look much differently.
