"Wind farms and solar create pollution? I don't think so pal. Clean and green, direct from the heavens." Now let me help you out on this one. We are going to start with wide open virgin land. Then we are going to build say 100 windmills. How do they get built? They get built by heavy construction equipment. How does that equipment run - on evil polluting fossil fuels. Now we have a 100 wind mills. How are they maintained. They are maintained by workers. How do the workers maintain this equipment? The do it using heavy construction equipment burning evil polluting fossil fuels. So - does a wind farm create not even an ounce of pollution? You answer the question!
