Wind Turbines Generate Infrasound
Several studies have shown that industrial wind turbines produce infrasound. It is produced by the gigantic blades passing the pole in a roughly 180-degree arc.

Turbines: Damaging Wind Farms
Wind energy generators are in rural locations for the simple reason that they need to be out in the open. That means construction companies must use gravel and asphalt surfaced roads to reach the many construction sites of the wind farm. This presents several problems to the people responsible for maintaining those roads.
Turbines: Heavy Loads Damage Roads
A Jackson County Highway Engineer, was among a group of engineers from across southern Minnesota, has examined the issues associated with the large loads hauling wind turbine parts through the county, and the toll those heavy loads are taking on the road system.
Wind Turbines and Wildlife
Thousands and thousands of birds and bats are killed from wind turbines every year. The blades of the tower spin very fast, which either kills
Leading Edge Erosion and Pollution from Commercial Wind Turbine Blades: Potential for BPA Released into the Environment
Leading edge erosion is well a known and problematic issue with commercial wind turbine blades. Erosion is the reason that turbine blades need to be
Are Wind Turbines Really Environmentally Friendly?
Wind energy is terribly inefficient (approximately 35%) and requires another source of energy as a backup. The backup power must enable utilities to balance power
Water: A Precious Commodity
We get our drinking water from surface and groundwater. It is a precious natural resource we cannot live without. Water quality and wind turbines do
