::::I still think the statement "[[Wind power]] is the only direct form of greenhouse gas mitigation,..." sounds narrow (and tangentally related to the article). If readers want more detail on the various [[renewable energy]] sources, the pros and cons, they can go to that article. Despite all this, if the statement is still included here, it only needs to be said once. And, it does need sources here, if the statement is included. It doesn't matter if I can go out and search for sources to confirm something. I do see that wind power has many advantages. But in Wikipedia, you need to directly [[WP:CITE|cite sources]]; You can't expect readers to know to find the discussion of "net power to build and install..." on the [[wind turbine]] article, when that article isn't linked with the statement and sources are not provided here. Thanks. --[[User:Kmf164|Kmf164]] 04:45, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

::::: Tangentally? The article is about global warming mitigation. My POV is that the statement is pertinent to both sections. Perhaps we can make a deal: if you will remove all of the redundant qualifications in the climate change-related articles such as that global warming is a scientific theory, "not a proven fact," and that "there is still some controversy over whether scientists believe human activities cause climate change," and the dozens of similar statements, then I'll clip one of the two comments about wind power being the only direct form of global warming mitigation. &mdash;[[User:Nrcprm2026|<i>James S.</i>]] 06:20, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

:::::I think the statement "For example, a wind turbine typically produces about 50 times as much energy over its lifetime as is consumed by its construction and installation." suffices and readers can go to [[renewable energy]] or [[wind turbine]] for more details. --[[User:Kmf164|Kmf164]] 04:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

::::: I agree and will change it to that. &mdash;[[User:Nrcprm2026|<i>James S.</i>]] 06:20, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
