"Wind power is essential to fighting climate change"

No foundation for that statement.

"building the turbines is energy-intensive"

True, and the energy used for building the turbines is not "CO2 neutral".

"and the blades are made from plastics",

and again that is not "CO2 neutral" as the plastics are made from "fossil fuels"

"So how eco-friendly is wind power really?"

They're not.

"Wind power is set to become the key pillar of the global renewable energy supply.

Another statement without foundation.

Generating power from wind is not only carbon neutral

It's NOT "carbon neutral"

With the sun, wind is so abundant that it has the potential to supply the entire global energy demand a few times over.

The science of energy refutes that notion.

This will be vital for the energy transition.

THAT assumes one is necessary, which is still not proven.
