On which side of the fence do you sit?

I was asked to write a piece on windfarms without giving my own opinion, this is the result.

Environmentalists are agreed that unless we do something very soon about climate change, life on Earth will become unsustainable. We must, they say, cease our reliance on fossil fuels and turn our attention to renewable energy. Unfortunately, they are not in agreement as to the best alternatives and no method causes more controversy than the effectiveness of wind farms.
Chief among the detractors are the scientists who argue that wind farms are not efficient enough. They cite the fact that in order to generate enough electricity to meet our needs, we would have so many turbines in place that the character of the countryside would be ineradicably altered.
However, a report by the Sustainable Development Commission has said it is possible to have wind turbines provide 10% of the UK's electricity by 2010. This would meet the government's target and take up only 1% of British land. Conversely, the Renewable Energy Foundation (REF) is dismayed at the report, believing too much focus on wind power is a mistake. John Constable, head of policy at REF, is quoted as saying "The report leads us to infer that wind turbines will avert climate change, but that is untrue. They have something to offer, but the question is whether we need to place as much reliance on what is actually a very high impact and costly means of emissions reduction.”
The RSPB and Greenpeace each voice concerns as to the effect the turbines would have on wildlife, particularly the possibility of birds flying into the blades and being killed. However, other organisations say that if care is taken in the siting of wind farms many of these problems could be alleviated. Health issues have also been raised, with one side of the argument saying that the low noise emissions of the turbines cause serious problems to people living nearby, and the other side saying that as long as they are at least 600 metres away from houses they are perfectly safe.
Another point of contention is their visual impact. In the opinion of some they are an eyesore while to others they are attractive. A certain amount of nimbyism creeps into the debate here; 80% of people polled said they thought wind farms were necessary, but of these, less than 10% said they would be happy to have a wind farm in their own neighbourhood.
So there we have it. In most debates the facts speak for themselves, but in this case the facts confuse. Meanwhile, as the argument rages on, the planet edges ever closer to destruction.
