Why do wind power swept across the globe? Why do western people do not welcome wind power?

Perhaps it is highly receptive, and perhaps it is not yet aware of the existence of the problem. The Chinese people often adopt attitudes of support, tolerance, or failure in regard to wind power projects, whether they are land-based wind power or offshore wind power. Few voices of opposition have come to light. However, in many countries, the people are good for wind power and land-based wind power. Offshore wind power is also worth mentioning. The voices of questioning come and go, and the gourd is lifted. Several wind power projects have been postponed or repealed by protesters. Opponents of wind power projects in the United States, the United Kingdom, Greece, and Australia are using their own methods to call on the government's wind power development plan. The so-called, chaos, you singing him debut. The excitement is good-looking, but the editor also hopes that you will think deeply and carefully. Will China's wind power projects cause similar problems?

Hovering wind turbine blades are eroding the burning coal-fired boiler site. In the field of power generation, wind power has become increasingly important. Along with this, we have also heard more and more such rhetoric: I certainly support the development of clean energy, but... This "but" contains people's dissatisfaction with wind farms. In the eyes of wind power supporters, wind power is greener and more environmentally friendly. In the view of wind power opponents, wind power has various kinds of damage, such as damaging unique land or sea landscapes, affecting the feeding of marine animals, and noise affecting human health. Some people even think that fans are unsightly and do not want them to appear in their own eyes.

It cannot be denied that wind energy does not create waste, use water, and does not require much space compared to other forms of renewable energy. However, many opponents of wind farms see the other side of the coin.

U.S. wind power project resistance is still

Environmentalists in Maine, United States, are arguing over whether to expand a wind farm near Mount Kippy. Persons opposed to the expansion stated that the expansion of the wind farm would disrupt the lives of local animals. In addition, TransCanada, the constructor of the wind farm, involved in the development of oil sands in Alberta, Canada. For these environmentalists, the development of oil sands is a heavy pollution act, and companies that develop oil sands should be boycotted. The argument for supporting the expansionists naturally is that the development of wind power will help reduce global warming. On August 5, after encountering a boycott by the Maine State government regulators, the Pan-Canada company announced a reduction in the expansion.

In April this year, the United States Interior Minister Ken Salazar approved the construction of the first offshore wind farm in the United States. The project is located near Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and is also a summer resort for the Kennedy family and other prominent families. Salazar said that the approval of the project was the result of coordinated multi-stakes. The number of wind turbines was reduced from 170 originally planned to 130, and the wind farm was also far away from the Kennedy family holiday so that the holiday makers would not Deprived because of the existence of wind farms.

Although making concessions, the Kennedy family, as well as the local people, such as heads of household, ships and merchants, still do not buy government accounts. They believe that the island's landscape is being eroded by industrialization. The argument often cited by opponents of wind farm construction is that wind farms pose a threat to migratory birds. Since June, the Cape Wind Power Project in the United States has faced a legal challenge from a group. The reason they have questioned is that this offshore wind farm will violate the Endangered Species Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Protection Act.

Insecurity caused by wind power projects in Britain and Australia

Whether or not wind farms should be built near the picturesque Mount Ramsey in the Scottish Borders has also sparked controversy in the area. The dukes living in this area have difficulty reaching a consensus on whether or not they should build wind farms.

British media reported on August 24 that at least 33 seal-incomplete bodies had been found on the coast near Norfolk County in the United Kingdom. Scientists investigating the tragedy claimed that the cause of death for seals may have been caused by vessels equipped with catheter propellers. A scientist at the Sealed Mammal Research Institute at the University of St. Andrews in the United Kingdom said that vessels operating on offshore wind farms in Norfolk may be the culprits. Although wind farm developers denied this claim, in the face of a broken seal carcass, people were somewhat displeased with the intention of wind farms.

In Australia, people are more worried about the harm of wind turbines to humans. Residents of the town near the largest wind farm in Victoria complained that the low frequency noise of the fans made them feel headaches and tinnitus. However, the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council, a government information agency, denied this claim. A report issued by the agency in July showed that there is no scientific evidence that these noises, the shadow of the fan blades spinning or the gleaming leaves can cause illness. The report found that the noise generated by a wind power plant with 10 turbines is not as loud as an office noise. The National Health Service, the largest social and medical service provider in the United Kingdom, agrees that after conducting research on the relevant investigations, it has found no evidence of damage caused by the turbines.

According to analysis by the Australian Industry Association’s Clean Energy Committee, wind farms have differentiated the nearby countryside. On the one hand, people who support wind farm projects because of huge compensation from developers, and people on the other side who have no income other than noise and dark sky. The committee also stated that people’s attitude towards wind turbines is directly linked to their own economic interests.

Wind Power Dispute over Aegean Sea

Critics and skeptics seem to have an advantage over whether to build wind farms on Greece's Serifos. Critics feared that the blades of these turbines would disturb the 100,000 travelers who traveled every year. The mayor, Angrik Sinanovou, said: “For our island, this project is too large.” Elinike Eitalia, spokeswoman for the NGO that defends the Aegean’s ecological environment, said: “ The size of the turbine should match the local landscape."

Every Aegean tourist can feel the great potential of Greek wind energy. Although local residents occasionally raise objections, Tina Birbiri, Minister of Environment and Climate Change of Greece stated that Greece will learn from the experience of Spain and Portugal in promoting wind energy development. Next year, the Greek government will openly bid for offshore wind farms - but some contractors are disappointed that the government may bid for the relevant address. Some newspapers criticized this as a typical centralized system. In response, the minister denied that this policy did not infuriate investors at all and instead it would provide one-stop services to help them. This would pre-emptively oppose all kinds of objections that the Greek government may propose - from the Ministry of Culture, the Antiquities Protection Agency to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense that is concerned about security issues. Bill Bili declared that no matter what the situation is, Greece warmly welcomes private companies' proposals for the construction of land-based wind farms.
