Between the huge outlay of natural resources, the "works when it wants to" nature of wind power, ruining the natural scenery and all the grid upgrades and additional power lines.... wind is not really good for the environment at all.
When it gets to the point where it takes billions of dollars to upgrade the power grid to make use of wind, probably should call that the stopping point.
