WIND TURBINES IMPACT

Noise Pollution:depends on the wind speed,

the more the wind speed, the greater the
impact of noise pollution.

WIND TURBINES IMPACT

Affects Wildlife:Few studies have been done

to determine the affect of wind turbines on
wildlife and the evidence is clear that they
pose threat to the lives of birds and bats. The
presence of large turbines causes birds to avoid
that site. In some areas birds have been found
dead where large turbines are located. The
installation of such large structures in wild
areas after clearing of trees has a negative
affect and may result in loss, degradation and
fragmentation of habitat.

House Price Reduction:It has been noticed

that the prices of houses near the wind farm
development are reduced sustainably. The
reason being that nobody wants to live near
the wind farms having 300 foot blades. It also
have a huge visual impact. Noise pollution
accompanied by the visual impact has forced
the people living in those areas to move
outside the city.

Visual Impact:Though many people believe

thatwind turbinesactually
look
nice
but
majority of them disagree. Surveys of public
opinion show that most people who live near
wind developments find them less intrusive once
they are operating than they might have feared
beforehand. Wind farm developers recognize
that visual impact can be a concern for
neighboring communities. Most countries with a
wind power industry have established rules
which exclude certain areas from development,
such as national parks or nature reserves.

Impact Radar For Weather Service:Some

experts believe that huge wind turbines in a
large wind farm development having 300 foot
blades are impacting the weather services by
sending the signals back to the service station
indicating the disturbance in the air. It may
also affect the meteorological ability to detect
storms and high tides.
