Opponents of offshore wind turbines have one thing right: they disturb wildlife. The noise from wind turbines and their huge spinning wings are a hazard to birdlife, while their installation often destroys ocean-floor ecosystems. It’s an acknowledged problem, and so now wind turbine manufacturers and power companies are cooperating with scientists to find new ways to make wind turbines more wildlife-friendly.
Wind turbines require space
The negative effect of green technologies on wildlife has been thoroughly mapped. Studies have demonstrated that lizards adapt their stress levels to the noise of wind turbines, so that they then react more slowly to the threat of predators. The turbine
