A study in Environmental Research Letters (ERL) has taken a life-cycle approach to evaluate the environmental cost and benefits of creating a wind farm at the fundamental level. The research looked at life cycle inventories for both on shore and off shore wind farms to estimate the total emissions. Using a set of life cycle inventories for fossil fuel power stations they were compared and evaluated the emission saving of the wind-power. Read more ...
Here are some Benefits of Winds Farm:
ReplyDelete-Renewable source of energy
