Explanation:

VERY VERY biased question and answers....

 Wind turbines do significant damage to the environment.....from all of the mining required to obtain rare earth metals for the generator magnets to the non-recyclable blades to the enormous amounts of concrete required in pedestal construction ( mega - co2 emissions to make the concrete) to the transportation costs to the construction site  .   The also kill a significant number of birds and bats  AND contribute to noise pollution.  They ALSO require significant investment/costs/construction of transmission lines across the land to get from where the wind is to where the electricity is used.....  They are NOT great....but I think the answer they want you to spout is the second one.    But do not be brainwashed into believing they can replace fossil fuels.
