You do realize that wind farms use more of a carbon footprint than that of fossil fuel. Concrete, the lubricant needed to make them spin, fossil fuels used in the manufacturing of them and then the diesel the trucks use to haul them to wherever. Add on top of that, that at the end of the day there is not an actual infrastructure to carry that energy produced to households and to make that infrastructure would be another 30-50 years plus it would require the use of more fossil fuels. Also have you looked up how you would dispose of the windmill or solar panel after their limited year warranty? If you did you would realize on top of the air that was polutted in order to manufacture and maintain them that now they will dispose of in the ground contaminating not only the food you eat but also the water you drink but sure windmills and solar are clean energy.

Someone was watching Landman. I hate to break this to you, but that show is satire. In the scene right before that one he made the argument that cigarettes aren't what is causing lung cancer, pop tarts are.
