WhalePower, based in Toronto, Ontario, is testing this wind-turbine blade at a wind-testing facility in Prince Edward Island. The bumps, or “tubercles,” on the blade’s leading edge reduce noise, increase its stability, and enable it to capture more energy from the wind. Credit: WhaleP...
The installation of wind turbines as well as the noise created by their operation can have a harmful effect on whales. Last year, an official from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) warned against setting up win...

2022. He expresses a number of reasons but one that he really focuses on is the wave effect of the turbine. So when the turbines are spinning it creates a turbulence on the back end of it. The concern is that it’s going to destroy the plankton which is what the whales feed on. If...
In view of the adverse health impacts of exposure to turbine-generated LFN, it is recommended that the government set regulations on the requisite distances of wind turbines from residences, for houses near wind turbines to be equipped with airtight windows for sound insulation, and for residents ...
For example, underwater noise can be a serious problem for some marine animals, particularly whales, dolphins, and seals. The acoustic noise emission from offshore wind turbines as well as its propagation is affected by various parameters, including • Wind turbine parameters: rated power, rotor...
globe, whether you’re poor, rich, on the left or right,” he said. “And this is one little step in the right direction. It’s exciting to me that someone will turn on a switch in East Hampton this evening and a small percentage of that power will be coming from this turbine.”...
