wind energyWind energy is a clean, renewable alternative to fossil fuel-derived energy sources, but many birds are at risk from collisions with wind turbines. We summarise the diversity of birds killed by turbine collisions at 20 wind energy facilities (WEFs) across southwest South Africa. ...
Although wind turbines are a relatively clean means of producing electricity, compared with other conventional power plants, there are environmental impacts. There has been some concern over the noise produced by rotor blades, visual impacts, and the interaction of birds and wind turbines. Most of ...
Wind energy development has a substantial negative impact on birds. The best estimates of the number of birds killed by wind turbines in the U.S. each year are based on a trio of studies published in 2013 and 2014. Adjusting for industry growth and energy produced it can be projected that...
Wind energy is frequently touted as a clean, green source of energy that can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. But like all sources of energy, wind power comes at a cost — one that's too often borne by eagles, hawks, falcons, owls and other birds. Wind turbines kill more than ...
