I doubt they will beat some of the hydro dams which have destroyed most of the world's great rivers, but yeah...
Pretty much any large-scale energy production causes significant environmental damage. Arguably nuclear and solar (and like, wave/tidal power) are the least destructive, if managed well, but for wind to be more destructive than hydro has (pretty much always) been, would take a lot...
Not that I'm some "turbine lover", but massive dams literally destroy entire ecosystems, which is slightly larger-scale than this...
LA is only green because of all the communities to the East of it that it starved of water, after all, lol... :-/
Germany recently passed a law that mandates 2% of the land surface area will have to be covered in wind turbines. The ink isn't dry yet and the Greens are already pushing for 4%.

Are they really larger scale?

2% of land surface seems like a lot already.
