I know that there are many advantages but also disadvantages of wind power, but overall would it help our environment?

DEFINITELY help. The only negative impact is the manufacturing of the turbines, which is one-time thing. The only thing keeping it from becoming a major source of power is it’s expensive, but the costs are going down so expect to see more wind farms in the future!
Wind power is having a positive impact, at this point, on manufacturing, and definitley on employment. In the country, farmers/ranchers are enjoying monthly/yearly income with the installation of these wind generators on their properrty. A good thing. Power transmission lines need to be installed to get the power distributed to wherre it can be consumed, again providing job opportunities. One bit of concern, are migrating birds, such as ducks, geese, an cranes going to be decimated in numbers if they fly into the rotating blades, possibly. It will take years and years of construction of wind generated power to fulfill our needs at current levels of power consumption. Therefore, coal, water, natural gas, and nuclear will continue to dominate the power scene.
Yes its not putting gasses from burnt fossil fuel into the enviroment. Its free energy,almost.
positive
There are three reasons why people oppose wind turbines. They kill birds flying, they create noise, and they disrupt the view. All three can be proven false. Of course, you know the good sides. They’re free sources of energy forever, they have little maintenance, and they’ve been used for thousands of years, all the way back to the traditional ones in Holland.
