Rock Port, Missouri celebrates being "100% wind powered" {Engadget}
May 22nd 2008 11:07AM just a mention since no one's said this... a lot of wind turbines are ocean-based, usually a mile or two off the coast. while many people will say this is bad for sea life, the amount of energy stored per turbine is significantly greater than the land-based ones in middle america because the average wind speed is much greater given all the ocean currents.
The main benefits of this are -- fewer ocean-based wind turbines to generate the equivalent land-based turbines power, doesn't take up precious land real estate (since the majority of the world is water not land), can be made in much greater size, can be made off the coasts of big cities (such as NY maybe?) to be piped directly to that city.
The main detractions are -- because of higher wind speeds the turbines must be more durable/stronger which makes each one more expensive, maintenance is more of a problem because it's off the coast and not as easy to get to, sea life as some people will most certainly complain about, slower reaction to problems/non-working turbines (kinda maintenance but i think it deserves a separate mentinon)
