Question: How will wind turbines affect the climate?
I see that that East Anglia Offshore Wind, Ltd. is going to develop a 7.2GW wind farm. This begs the question: if the turbines are approximately 50% efficient then how will the reduction in wind energy by approximately 15GW affect the climate in the region around the wind farm?

Answer:

Wind turbines make noise pollution

List a concern (there are others) and a possible solution.

I’m only asking questions that basically I can’t find. I figured another person with another veiw on this would point me in the direction of finding a source for my research.

What are various things that you know electricity does to the environment? How much does it affect the environment? How much does turbines and solar panels have to with the damage? Do they cause the majority of the damage?

I’m mainly looking for a source regarding how much damage(to the environment)solar panels and turbines make by producing electricity.

List your sources to the exact place you found the information.
