Nobody has raised the issue of the tremendous amount of CO2 emissions from the curing of tons and tons of concrete that are needed to support the massive turbine towers. Most certainly the "green" windturbine industry doesn't want to talk about it. I haven't found a source that quantifies the emissions so anyone who knows please contribute to the debate. I have heard that the CO2 emissions are the equivalent of years of fossil fuel emissions.
