It is terrific that we have alternative sources of energy, but to suppress development the most plentiful and least expensive in favor anything as ridiculously impractical as wind power substitutes is reckless at best, and a disaster at worse.
"Suppress" development? You mean "make conform to appropriate emission control standards?" If we make coal, oil and gas cover the costs of dealing with the emissions created as they are introduced to the active carbon cycle of our planet (effect mitigation and adaptation), then energy systems can compete in a balanced market where all of the societal costs for each system is accounted for.
So when are you going to make wind power operators adhere to the same bird slaughter regs as the oil companies. If it's good for the goose it's good for the gander is it not?
