    Pros:
    Cheaper electricity
    Windturbines require little maintenance
    Whoever owns the land where the windturbines are installed get a TAX BREAK
    Windturbines don’t spew out any pollutants

    Cons:
    Some people think windturbines are ugly
    If you stand right under them, it’s noisy (but far away you don’t hear them)
    Location has to be windy most of the time for them to work
    They are very tall (I don’t think it matters so much)

    I think the pros overweigh the cons ANYWAY
    I’ve seen windturbines from a distance and I think they look rather nice!
