There's currently a big public debate in my country regarding relaxing building restrictions for wind turbines, and all the FUD about noise levels, killing birds etc is very much in use.

Current law is so harsh that you can build a coal powerplant closer to peoples' houses than a wind turbine :)

That's despite the fact we have the worst air pollution in EU and the wind turbines would replace coal powerplants...

TL; DR: you're wrong.
