At a time of growing concern over the rising costs and long-term environmental impacts of the use of fossil fuels
and nuclear energy, wind energy has become an increasingly important sector of the...
This is a more balanced document. It presents a way for wind and wildlife to coexist with some compromises from both the industry and the wildlife advocates. It is a good resource for the collection.
Wind energy facilities can adversely impact wildlife, especially birds and bats, and their habitats. As more facilities with larger turbines are built, the cumulative effects of this rapidly growing...
Patterns of bat fatality, relationships between weather and turbine variables, and observations with thermal imaging all corroborate and suggest bat fatalities occur primarily on low wind nights, but...
The interaction of bats and wind turbines is emerging as a major and unexpected problem in northern Appalachia. From mid-August through October 2003, during the fall migration period, at least 400...
Wind, a 100% clean energy source, is one of the healthiest energy options,
and one of the most compatible with animals and humans. While birds do
collide with wind turbines at some sites, modern...
Texas currently maintains the highest installed nameplate capacity and does not require publicly available post-construction monitoring studies that examine the impacts of wind energy production on...
Wind power has recently experienced dramatic growth in the United States, with further growth expected. However, several wind power-generating facilities have killed migratory birds and bats,...
On October 24, 2007, Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne announced the appointment of 22 individuals as members of the Wind Turbine Guidelines Advisory Committee. The Committee was formed and...
