Waste Products Produced
The waste products of wind energy are those that result from the manufacture, transportation, installation, maintenance, removal, and disposal of the wind generation equipment. They include carbon dioxide, various chemicals, and so on, but they are very small compared to products of other sorts of electrical generation equipment. They have no particularly special dangers and include no products that are especially hazardous.
When the wind turbines are up and running there are no waste by products, no carbon dioxide, no pollution. Just clean green energy.
The real pollution is still present though at fossil fuel plants that are ran to subsidize the variables of wind energy. Fossil fuel plants running, at idle, are still producing the same CO2 as if they were connected to the grid, but the cost is ignored only because the energy is not used.
