Mr McLachlan also said any wind farm would cause significant damage to the land, would hinder potential tourism opportunities and“cause extreme division in the community”.
Worldwide, wind farms kill hundreds of thousands of birds a year and even more bats, which can fly into the spinning blades but also suffer fatal internal injuries from the air pressure changes near the blades.
Even if it should be approved by the county, the wind farm will face strong opposition from various environmental and conservation groups, backed by such influential leaders as Alexander and Black.
This would prompt quite significant changes in the local environment- massive wind farms would raise temperatures by around 2℃ for instance, similar to the amount of global warming we are concerned about.
After the meeting, Equis Energy representative Hu Ken-ti(胡根地) said offshore wind farms are important to the nation's industrial and energy-supply transition, adding that success would require time and public support.
When fully operational, the wind farm is expected to produce enough electricity to meet the demand of 630,000 people, or about 40% of the current consumption in Lower Normandy.
Another report claims an Oregon wind farm has killed at least 38 golden eagles, along with 336 other protected birds that flew into the giant spinning blades.
Across Pennsylvania, wind farms help meet a goal of state law to generate 18 percent of retail power from renewable and advanced energy sources by 2019.
They also claim the wind farm was built“because of huge governmental subsidies to the benefit of the defendants” and“little or no benefit to the public.”.
