Wind Turbines, negative downstream effects by removing predator raptors.
Wind turbines aren’t quite ‘apex predators’, but the truth is far more interesting November 7, 2018 | Jeroen Minderman| theconversation.com In some ways, it may indeed seem as if wind turbines act similarly to the introduction of an “apex predator” into the food chain: by reducing the number and activity of intermediate predators such as birds … Continue reading Wind Turbines, negative downstream effects by removing predator raptors.
Turbines, Pesticides, Threaten Useful, Cute, Hoary Bat.

Published on: November 9, 2018 | The Londoner When it comes to the army of wind turbines stationed near the shores of Lake Huron, an unfortunate predicament arises. It’s true that by … Continue reading Turbines, Pesticides, Threaten Useful, Cute, Hoary Bat.
CO2 payback time for a wind farm on afforested peatland in the UK
Interesting study on Co2 and carbon payback. - The turbine data for this are much smaller and fewer, but does provide data on the increase in carbon payback time for forested lands. While it does show that there is eventually a payback over the loss 3-4 years instead of 6 months for non- forested lands, … Continue reading CO2 payback time for a wind farm on afforested peatland in the UK
