Wind energy as a renewable energy source is becoming less expensive to get installed and operational. But, there are downsides you must take into account, before choosing wind as your alternative energy of choice.

The most-efficient wind power generation systems can only be afforded by municipalities. And even municipal governments are running into hassles when they set up their wind farms on-shore or off-shore. When wind farms are built in locations frequented by birds, animal cruelty organizations are stepping up to bring legal actions against many wind farms.
