EnvironmentEnergyWind.Regarding high demand of energy, lack oftraditional energy resources and also pollution associatedwith fossil fuels, there is a significant tendency towardrenewable energies like wind and solar energy. Windenergy has shown the benefits as relatively low cost andsimple required ...
With the rapid development of wind power, there are increasing concerns about the negative ecological effects of its construction and operation. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the effects of wind farms on flying fauna (i.e., birds and bats) or climate change separately from com...
effects of environmental regulations are presented for five polluting industries. We find that the indirect effect can be either positive or negative, and in all industries is energy using. The net impact of environmental regulations on total factor productivity growth is fairly small, given that ...
environmental fundamentals (spatial patterns and resources, complexity, uncertainty, information, and meaning) are modified producing dramatic effects on the semiosis of several species. Human intrusion in ecosystems creates new spatial configurations that have a reduced ecological complexity ...

One often overlooked alternative to conventional large scale wind farms is to produce wind energy close to where we need it such as in the built environment. In this case we do not need to transport the energy and we keep rural areas untouched. However, the built environment has lower averag...
Offshore wind (OSW) energy development is a fast-growing international industry. A range of sounds that potentially affect marine life are produced during preconstruction surveys, construction, and operations of offshore wind farms. However, the effects of these sounds on marine life, and particular...
Bird density and population dynamics are often used as important ecological indicators to evaluate the quality of the ecological environment (Canterbury et al., 2000), and research has indicated that wind farms have different impacts on different bird communities. For example, some birds suffer ...
Increasing environmental issues have caused cleaner forms of energy such as offshore wind power to be exploited. Despite the benefits of offshore wind power, the construction and operation of the turbines have potentially negative effects on marine mammals. Marine mammals rely heavily on their percept...
Altogether 676 residents responded to a masked living environment questionnaire. Higher wind turbine sound level was only associated with more likely reporting wind turbine noise annoyance and not with reporting of other symptoms or chronic diseases. On the other hand, higher road traffic sound level ...
