Besides their heavy subsidization by governments, accelerated depreciation, tax breaks, etc., the true cost of wind farms is unknown. People also don't take into consideration the ancillary costs for backup power systems, infrastructure costs (roads, site construction, distribution routes).
The footprint of windmills is very broad, eliminating the possibility of truly massed power generation.
Also forgotten is the environmental costs in the way of dead birds, and the noise pollution on nearby animals and people.
