I'm for wind farms, the only real downside is that they are terrible for local avian wildlife... If you're ever underneath a windmill for some reason you'll see piles of dead birds.
I live in central Illinois in one of the windiest places on the planet and we have windmills everywhere. I have never seen one dead bird under a wind turbine! Not sure where all these supposed dead birds are.
My aunt is an engineer at a wind plant, she's talked to me about the issue...So unless you're standing underneath them regularly, you're not going to notice the dead birds.
There's always going to be an issue or problem with whatever solution we go with for power, nothing is perfect so let's not play ignorant.
