Hmm, I see how the bird thing and noise could be an issue. I would think though that they would be able to find a way to control the noise.

I wasn't thinking that we need a giant wind farm. I was thinking more along the lines of a few turbines or more being a landmark that would give us the added benefit of producing power for the grid or a specific thing. They would iconic and I think people would definitely come and see them.

As for the turbine exploding. I'm sure they have a lot of safety measures to keep million dollar wind turbines from doing that, but of course that's an assumption.
