Wind Power Is On The Rise, Despite The Controversy

They're controversial in Cape Cod, a welcoming sight in Seattle, and growing in number across the Unites States. New wind farms are being built almost daily.

Supporters note the environmental benefits of wind power -- clean, emission-free and renewable.
