There are no panaceas in this world and wind mills are no exception! Looks like we are fast learning about how environmentally unfriendly these thousands and ten thousands of wind mills are.
"... look no further than the Scottish Highlands – where some 4,500 of these things have polluted a once majestic landscape. ...
To make way for them, more than 17,000 acres have been cleared and 14 million trees have been clear-felled in the process, adding to a morbid sense of pointless, industrial-scale environmental destruction.
But, right now, it’s another feature of these 300-tonne monsters and their 50-60m blades that has highlanders up in arms.
And that’s their habit of constantly shedding toxic microplastics and spreading them far and wide. ...
that littering the landscape with toxic plastic junk with complete impunity, is yet another example of how the wind industry gets a free kick on every environmentally harmful aspect of their subsidy-soaked operations. ..."
Wind farm fears as SNP ministers admit they don't monitor 'toxic' leading edge erosion Energy minister Michael Matheson also admitted that no wind farm operators have been fined for failing to maintain their turbines and there is no scheme in place to monitor microplastic pollution
