    I reckon what ever we do to create energy will have an effect on our environment. WLoads of wind turbines will probably effect the gulf stream or something

    essentially energy can neither be created nor destroyed, merely converted. It follows then that even a wind turbine takes energy out of the winds that rotate its sails in order to turn its dynamo and generate current. Wind however is caused by having areas of high and low pressure in the atmosphere which in turn are caused by many different factors. I don't see wind turbines or solar energy detracting from the environment in the same damaging ways that fossil fuels do or the potential ways that nuclear fuels can.
