(archive: 2017) Balanced solution to the cumulative threat of industrialized wind farm development on cinereous vultures (Aegypius monachus) in south-eastern Europe #GRC: Abstract – Wind farm development can combat climate change but may also threaten bird populations’ persistence through collision with wind turbine blades if such development is improperly planned strategically and cumulatively. Such improper planning may often occur. Numerous wind… https://www.wind-watch.org/documents/a-balanced-solution-to-the-cumulative-threat-of-industrialized-wind-farm-development-on-cinereous-vultures-aegypius-monachus-in-south-eastern-europe/ #windpower #windenergy

Bird and bat mortality at wind farms in South America: Lessons from monitoring and mitigation practices in Chile #CHL: Abstract: Wind energy can help mitigate global CO2 emissions; however, it also has adverse effects on biodiversity, particularly through collision-related mortality among flying vertebrates. While these impacts have been extensively studied in North America and Europe, information from South America remain limited. In this study, we assessed bird and bat… https://www.wind-watch.org/documents/bird-and-bat-mortality-at-wind-farms-in-south-america-lessons-from-monitoring-and-mitigation-practices-in-chile-2/

Wind farm death after crane falls from cliff: A wind farm construction worker died after a crane fell from a road while working on a project in South Korea, local media reported. The man in his 40s was crushed by the 200-tonne crane which he was driving near the site of the project in Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon province, said multiple local reports. The crane fell 40 metres from a narrow cliff road after attempting to avoid an oncoming vehicle,… https://www.wind-watch.org/news/2026/05/16/wind-farm-death-after-crane-falls-from-cliff/ #windpower #windenergy

“Among man-made sources, wind turbine-generated infrasound is distinctive for its rhythmic, repetitive pattern, setting it apart from most other environmental low-frequency sources and drawing particular attention in both public discourse and scientific investigation.” —Maryam Dastan et al., “Infrasound and Human Health: Mechanisms, Effects, and Applications,” Applied Sciences 2026;16(3):1553 https://www.wind-watch.org/quotes.php?t=177

(archive: 2009) Cost and Quantity of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Avoided by Wind Generation #AUS: Wind power is intermittent, so either energy storage or constantly, instantly available back-up generation is required to provide constant power. This paper contains a simple analysis of the amount of greenhouse gas emissions avoided by wind power and the cost per tonne of emissions avoided. It puts these figures in context by comparing them with some… https://www.wind-watch.org/documents/cost-and-quantity-of-greenhouse-gas-emissions-avoided-by-wind-generation/ #windpower #windenergy
