Obtaining wind does not harm the environment, but obtaining coal does.
Reason: Wind turbines generate electricity without burning fuel, so they produce no air pollution or CO2 during operation. Coal extraction and combustion cause land disturbance, water and air pollution, and large greenhouse‑gas emissions. (Note: wind has some local impacts like bird collisions and land use, but overall it is much less environmentally harmful than coal.)
