Wind energy and the environment -- Great Lakes Wind Collaborative State of the Science Workshop -- State of knowledge on impacted wildlife groups and habitats -- Research priorities -- Science in the context of decision making -- Conclusions. Wind energy has many environmental advantages over other conventional methods of energy production. Despite these benefits, placement of large turbines across the landscape (or potentially in the water) can have negative ecological impacts. Some of these impacts are fairly well understood they have been well studied or are known from past experience or research on similar practices. |
