This is called "greenwashing" ;-) Land based wind turbines are not unproblematic depending on where they are placed. They are in many places a big problem for birds and bats.
Some disagreement here. Far less problematic when compared with the complete impact measure of other sources of power generation. In USA, Texas... the number one state in the extraction of petroleum is also the the largest producer of energy created from wind turbines. Some companies have heavily invested in the process...far from what I would consider greenwashing. FWIW, I consider something considered greenwashed when it's marketing-hyped without basis. Labeling bottled water as eco-friendly because it came from 'natural springs.' is an example. :-) |
