Large-scale wind power has its down side

11/19/2018

This article discusses the negative impacts of large-scale wind power. It highlights a study conducted by researchers at Harvard University, which found that the expansion of wind power can have adverse effects on the environment. The study indicates that wind turbines have been linked to bird and bat deaths, as well as disturbance to wildlife habitats. It also mentions concerns about the noise pollution caused by wind farms and the potential visual impact on landscapes. The article emphasizes the importance of considering these downsides and finding solutions that minimize the negative environmental impacts of wind power.
