The debate over large wind farms in local areas appears to have only two sides consisting of those who support wind energy outright and those who do not want it in their back yard. There is a third side that states that the best one can get from wind energy is to have it as decentralized and locally owned as possible. This means smaller wind turbines, energy cooperatives, and net-metering. Currently the large model of wind farms are controlled by corporations who take the energy generated away from the community that produced it and inflict a negative environmental impact.
