Similarly, assessments of the actual economic impacts of wind-energy facilities, in addition to forecasts of economic impacts, can improve our collective understanding of the economic benefits of wind-energy facilities and how those benefits are distributed.. The economic impact of wind energy [imgbelt img=texas-wind-turbines.jpeg] there are 47,000 megawatts of wind energy capacity installed in the u.s. the authors of a new study say that for each megawatt of wind capacity, a county gains half a job and just over $11,000 in total personal income.. Wind has a substantial share in the global renewable energy market, and an appreciable number of wind farms are to be constructed worldwide in the coming few years. however, the wind power sector has fallen under intense scrutiny in the past few years due to its impact on birds and other species..
Positive and negative effects of wind energy wind energy refers to the power generated with the help of wind that moves the turbine, which converts the motion into mechanical energy. with the employment of generators, this energy converts into electric energy.. • wind energy is expanding rapidly in the united states: over the last 4 years, wind power has contributed approximately 35 percent of all new electric power capacity. • wind power plants are often developed in rural areas where local economic development impacts from the installation are projected, including land lease and property tax. Wind turbines blades batter birds, killing 20,000 to 37,000 a year in the u.s., according to a 2007 national academy of sciences study, "environmental impacts of wind-energy projects.".
