Is overall wind power a positive or negative impact on the environment?

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

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.
