Blasting report for an Industrial Wind Farm in Maine
This is a Blasting report for an Industrial Wind Farm in Maine "Blasting is expected to be required for most of the eighteen (18) turbine foundations, the proposed access roads in areas requiring significant cut, the powerline trenches and for above ground transmission line poles. The shallow nature of the soils in the project area suggests … Continue reading Blasting report for an Industrial Wind Farm in Maine

Lake Superior Action Research Conservation: roads and blasting issues when putting turbines in the Lake Superior watershed.
This Document by lsarc.ca, is very relevant and highlights the same issues and environmental damages the Huron Mountain project will cause. This project was proposed just like the The Huron Mountains are a part of the Canadian Shield. So the geology and location are very similar. It also points out how it is against the Great … Continue reading Lake Superior Action Research Conservation: roads and blasting issues when putting turbines in the Lake Superior watershed.
Germany’s Wind Farms Are Ticking Time Bombs, A ‘Significant Danger’ To Environment!
P Gosselin on 22. June 2018 As Germany’s nearly 30,000-strong fleet of wind turbines approach 20 or more years in age, the list of catastrophic collapses is growing more rapidly. The turbines are now being viewed by technical experts as “ticking time bombs.” According to a commentary by Daniel Wetzel of online German Daily ‘Die Welt’, the aging rickety … Continue reading Germany’s Wind Farms Are Ticking Time Bombs, A ‘Significant Danger’ To Environment!
Conventional Wind Energy – A Design Deadly for Birds
A 2013 study published in The Wildlife Society Bulletin found that wind turbines killed an estimated 573,000 birds annually in the United States. And that figure was 4 years ago. According to U.S. Wind Energy State Facts ( Oct. 2016), there are over 52,000 wind turbines installed across 40 U.S. States plus Puerto Rico & … Continue reading Conventional Wind Energy – A Design Deadly for Birds
New study pinpoints birds of prey as hardest hit by wind farms
31 Oct 2017 | BirdLife A new study has revealed which bird and bat species are most at risk of collision with wind turbines, with birds of prey and migratory birds coming top of the list. This research is the first to take a global view of the problem, and pinpoints some possible solutions to … Continue reading New study pinpoints birds of prey as hardest hit by wind farms
Wind turbine vibration effect on animals.
Wind Energy Impacts and Issues. Wind turbine placement must consider vibration effect on animals. Although the study of the impact of industrial wind farms on migration is necessary and commendable, it is my concern that not nearly enough attention is being paid to the seismic vibrations generated by these wind farms. I can also hear … Continue reading Wind turbine vibration effect on animals.
The Sales Pitch: Wind projects use existing logging roads. – FALSE
The Sales Pitch: Wind projects use existing logging roads. The Truth: Wind industry would love for us to believe that. Unfortunately it is not true. Logging roads are not adequate for wind turbines. The truth is that logging roads and skidder trails are nothing like the roads that are being built to haul each … Continue reading The Sales Pitch: Wind projects use existing logging roads. – FALSE
