ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE

What are the effects of wind turbines on the environment, including impact on humans, 
animals as well as carbon- and energy savings? The areas of concern specific to wind 
development projects are:

NOISES VISUAL IMPACT BIRDS AND BATS 

 Aerodynamic noise
 Shaft noise
 Gearbox noise 
 The height wind turbines are highly visible structures in any landscape.
 The rotational speed of larger turbines is lower. So it is not attractive of human eyes. 

COLLISIONS 

 Wind farm developers ought to keep minimum distances to bird conservation areas and breeding grounds 
of sensitive species.
 Statistically, one birdwill die for two turbines.
 Huge pressure changes around wind turbines can cause serious internal damages to birds and bats.

RECOMMENDATIONS
 increasing thevisibility of rotorblade
 using white flashing lights to warn air traffic
