In 2005 the Sustainable Development Commission concluded that wind turbines take 8-10 months to generate the energy used in their manufacture and installation. See p 18 http://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/bitstream/10023/2306/1/sdc-2005-wind-power-uk.pdf
I suspect that most people who research and write about wind power are biased, one way or the other. There are reasons to be sceptical about it.

I thought that that was still a moot point and worth improving before they are rolled out over private or public land.
