Using wind turbines is environmental.

One of the main problems of using wind turbines is environmental. While people like the idea of wind power, they are less keen on having every hill crowned with a whirling turbine.

Serious examination has been given to placing the turbines out at sea. But there would be problems anchoring them and in transmitting the power back to land. The British Department of Energy has estimated that clusters of wind turbines built in shallow water around the coast could produce one and a half times Britain's present electricity demand, but engineers first want to study the performance of land-based machines.

The people of Fair Isle, off the north coast of Scotland, have already been making use of wind power. They installed a small wind generator in the early 1980s and have cut electricity bills by more than three-quarters from the old diesel engines.
