Compared to the environmental impact of traditional energy sources, the environmental impact of wind power is relatively minor. Unlike fossil fuel power sources Wind power consumes no fuel, and emits no air pollution. The energy consumed to manufacture and transport the materials used to build a wind power plant is equal to the new energy produced by the plant within a few months. While a wind farm may cover a large area of land, many land uses such as agriculture are compatible, with only small areas of turbine foundations and infrastructure made unavailable for use.[2][3]

There are reports of bird and bat mortality at wind turbines as there are around other artificial structures. The scale of the ecological impact may[4] or may not[5] be significant, depending on specific circumstances. Prevention and mitigation of wildlife fatalities, and protection of peat bogs,[6] affect the siting and operation of wind turbines.

There are anecdotal reports of negative effects from noise on people who live very close to wind turbines. Peer-reviewed research has generally not supported these statements.[
