Environmental Impacts of Wind-Energy Projects

Long a favorite of those who believe sustainability has a chance, wind power has nevertheless been surprisingly controversial. Aesthetics aside, wind turbines can kill flying wildlife and the regulatory framework of wind power is still immature in the US. This report considers the many ways wind power can affect the environment (including disruptions in air, water and habitat and commercial, aesthetic, social and political implications) to establish appropriately in action-space. Researchers explain the process of generating electricity from wind energy, the effects observed in the US (particularly in the mid-Atlantic highlands), the ecological effects of such development, the impact on humans in terms of health and well-being (in terms of electromagnetic interference in particular) as well as economic considerations. They provide a set of guidelines for wind energy' planning, development, and the review of proposals.
