That's interesting - I wonder if there's been any studies to find out if vegetation behind wind turbines grow abnormally. It would seem like taking terawatts of power from the wind across the planet could take some toll (though still probably a huge net improvement over hydrocarbons).
- kvdveer 4y agoAnekdotal, but I know someone who has an orchard just beneath a win turbine. Trees grow just fine, and in general ground windspeed does not seem affected. The most significant downside seems to be that staff dislikes the constant whoosh-whoosh sounds
