- In its lifetime of about 20 years, a wind turbine has a “benefit factor†between 3000 and 8200%. That means that the turbine produces 30 to 82 times more energy than it is necessary for its creation, delivery, use and disassembly.
- The noise of a wind farm on a distance of 350 m is as loud as the human whisper.
- Wind farms do not disturb the environment because of the noise. A turbine with a height of 78 m with a wind speed of 12-14 m/s creates only 41 dB (for comparison: a normal conversation creates 50 dB).
- Birds do not come close to wind farms.
- Wind energy plants are creating no harmful emissions.
- Power generation from wind is used in Europe for more than 800 years.
