Mountain View IV Wind Energy Project
Author: Environmental Impacts of Wind-Energy Projects
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309134080
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
The generation of electricity by wind energy has the potential to reduce environmental impacts caused by the use of fossil fuels. Although the use of wind energy to generate electricity is increasing rapidly in the United States, government guidance to help communities and developers evaluate and plan proposed wind-energy projects is lacking. Environmental Impacts of Wind-Energy Projects offers an analysis of the environmental benefits and drawbacks of wind energy, along with an evaluation guide to aid decision-making about projects. It includes a case study of the mid-Atlantic highlands, a mountainous area that spans parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. This book will inform policy makers at the federal, state, and local levels.

Chasing the Wind
Author: Rody JohnsonPublisher: Univ. of Tennessee Press

Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
"Rody Johnson presents a compelling narrative of how, beginning in 2005, the proposed construction of a wind farm along mountain ridges in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, pitted locals against each other - a story that puts a human face on the arguments about wind power's promise of clean, renewable energy and its potentially negative effects, including bird and bat kills, a disfigured natural landscape, and noise pollution. Drawing on countless hours he spent attending public meeting s and interviewing those on both sides of the issue. Johnson not only pictures the Greenbrier County struggle in illuminating detail but also make valuable comparisons between it and similarly pitched battles in other locations. This wide-ranging account examines the broader history of wind power; its capacity and output in comparison to such sources as fossil fuels, other renewables, and nuclear energy; the infrastructural challenges of transmitting electricity from wind farms to end users; global efforts to curb carbon emissions, including the Kyoto treaty; the role of public policy, government subsidies, and tax breaks; and the differences and similarities between wind power regimes in the United States and Europe. Concluding with a thoughtful, realistic assessment of a 2012 study suggesting that the country has the capability of receiving 80 percent of its electrical generation from renewables by 2050, Chasing the Wind makes a vital contribution to the ongoing dialogue regarding America's energy challenges and what is likely required to meet them."--Publisher's description.
