I'm not sure about the UK, but in 2007 there were about 100,000 birds killed by wind turbines
It will not affect the availability of wind.
No they don't. The birds can fly higher than the wind turbines and the turbines help create green power.
Yes. They are hazardous to birds, but the wind propels them.
wind turbines
noise and birds killed
Wind turbines are unsightly;Wind is not steady;Birds and bats are killed striking the blades of turbines;There is a large up-front investment;The return on investment is typically so long that subsidies are necessary to make instalation of turbines financially feasible;Wind turbines are prone to damage from storms.
the disadvantages is that the wind turbines disturb the migration of flying birds. it also disturbs the ecosystem.
None really.Wind turbines don't kill many birds. Modern wind turbine blades are very large and move quite slowly. It is easy for birds to avoid them.The noise from wind turbines (more of a hum) can only be heard by those close by and causes no more danger than the noise of traffic on a distant road.
they cost too much, they are too loud, birds and bats can die if they get too close, they are ugly, they leave shadows in your houses, they need wind to work, they interfere with the radar.
Advantages: clean energy, relatively cheap, "green" source of energy. Disadvantages: wind turbines can kill birds, the turbines themselves are not very attractive to look at.
