They release greenhouse gases is during the manufacturing and transport of the wind turbines, as well as during the installation process.
Suppliers and cities need to have an energy reserve or alternative sources of power in case the winds die down for longer lengths of time.

Disposing of the blades is a major problem. They must be cut up for transportation and they are filling up landfills. They must find a way to recycle them.
