However although it lowers emissions it does have an impact on the environment causing loss and disturbance of habitats for near by wildlife. Itb also brings the introduction of non-native species which can be detrimental to local spieces.

This power source works by the wind turning the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.
