	Wind farms - The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds
		The RSPB recently objected to a proposed 234 turbine wind farm on the Isle of Lewis in the Hebrides, on an extremely fragile and special area for wildlife.
		We will, and do, object to specific wind farm proposals where there is an inadequate environmental assessment, where the assessment reveals potential environmental problems that cannot be mitigated, or where there is insufficient knowledge about the threat to sensitive bird populations or their habitats to conclude that there will not be a problem.
		To ensure that future wind farms do not affect sensitive bird populations or their habitats, the RSPB is pressing the government for more research and monitoring of the effects of these developments on birds.

	Wind Energy in Tehachapi, CA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Wind Energy in Tehachapi, CA As of 1999, the Tehachapi Wind Resource area is the largest wind energy producer in the world.
		When the wind is too high for safe operation, the turbines are braked to avoid overstressing the equipment.
		It is estimated that Tehachapi's wind plants reduce the emission of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and related particulates by seven million pounds annually, and reduce the emission of greenhouse gases by over a billion pounds each year.

		Cape Wind officials concede the project would be economically unfeasible without a federal tax credit that currently would defray 1.9 cents from their annual tax bills for every kilowatt hour of energy their facilities produce during the first 10 years of operation.
		The capacity of installed wind farms in the UK doubled in the two years to the end of 2005, and other technologies like clean coal are being developed (npower announced last week that it plans to build a plant in Tilbury).

	RNP: Renewable Energy Projects: Foote Creek Rim
		The land around the wind farm’s towers is primarily owned by ranchers or the federal Bureau of Land Management, and 99 percent of it can continue to be used for grazing, even as the project generates electricity.
		Several steps were taken to protect birds and wildlife: The wind farm uses tubular towers and buried cables instead of lattice bases and pole-mounted cables, in order to avoid adding new perching places for birds.
		The wind farm produces no air emissions, and if coal or natural gas were used to generate the same amount of power, they would emit 150,000-380,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year, as well as air pollutants and acid rain precursors.

		It’s purpose is to facilitate its development of a 10 MW wind farm as phase 2.
		This wind farm is now planned to be built in 2007 due to negotiations with local utilities and the long lead time required to secure large-scale wind turbines.
		The gearbox and generator are located at the top of the tower in an enclosure known as a "nacelle." Cables transmit electricity generated by the wind turbines to a transformer at the base of the tower, and then to the local electric distribution line.

	Crookwell Wind Farm
		A wind farm might not seem to be a "Natural Attraction" in that it represents the latest in energy technology.
		And a century and a half ago many country areas had wind powered flour mills (now long since gone), where the wind was used to drive grinding wheels which turned wheat into flour.
		To maximise the efficiency of the turbines, each has its own computerised control system which regulates the speed of the blades (they shut down when the wind gets over 72 kms per hour) and by using data about wind direction and speed make sure they are pointing in the best direction for operation.

	Maple Wind Farm - LocalHarvest
		Maple Wind Farm, nestled against the spine of the Green Mountains in northern Vermont, is a diversified pasture-based farm specializing in grassfed and finished beef and lamb; and pastured organic pork and poultry.
		Farm tours and visits are welcome and available by appointment, and the farm sports two large heated yurts for rent to those who want to extend their stay.
		For the first time, Maple Wind Farm will cultivate small grains, but instead of taking them off for the grain, we plan to graze our cows on the high energy feed while the plant is still growing, before the seeds develop.

		Cape Wind is no longer the only entrepreneur willing to risk its neck with a tangible proposal to build wind turbines off Cape Cod (tangible as opposed to the trial balloon floated by Winergy a few years back).
		And the wind farm proposed for Nantucket Sound still deserves to be judged on its abundant merit, regardless of what is proposed elsewhere.
		This was done after Cape Wind opponents cited the presence of rocks exposed at low tide a few miles offshore as requiring the state to redraw the boundary of its coastal jurisdiction.
