Over the last couple years, we’ve reported extensively on the explosion of wind power in the North Country and the passionate debate it’s kindled. Are the wind turbines going up across the North Country ugly or beautiful? Do they make too much noise? Kill too many birds or bats? You can find a complete archive of stories on our website, ncpr.org.

In other words, how “green” is wind power really? David Sommerstein reports. [John Droz is interviewed.]
