Life cycle assessment methodology was used to perform a quantitative analysis and rating of the construction and operation of a wind energy plant through the case study of the Glacier Hills Wind Park.
The energy payback ratio (25.5), energy payback time (12.2 months),
...
Analysis of the result also shows that up to 22 % of the energy consumed and CO2(eq) produced during the life cycle transportation stage is due to the overseas shipping of major wind turbine components to the United States, either for direct installation at site or to domestic manufacturing plants.

In the material production category, the consider-able emissions from the production of the large volume of Portland cement used in the concrete foundation may be significantly reduced by replacing a portion of Portland cement with cementitious fly ash
...
Furthermore it was observed that after the material production and manufacturing category, the earthwork and construction category accounted for the highest GHG emissions in the project. These values are heavily influenced by fuel combustion during mechanical crushing and transportation of haul road and crane pad base layer material.

Thanks for this. I'd also read further if you have links.
I hate to be the one to say it but the solution to shortage is substitution. This story talks a little about that.

There have been other posts claiming a high wind turbine blade failure rate or short life span. I could not find documentation to back that up. Si I would appreciate some reading material on that topic.
