As the seriousness of global warming becomes increasingly apparent, countries are beginning to realize the importance of clean energy.
Wind power generation, as a very key clean energy, is attracting the attention of all countries in the world.
Denmark, as a pioneer in wind power, introduced it to life decades ago and has become a unique local landscape.
However, with the passing of time, some countries have begun to consider whether to dismantle wind power facilities because of the threat they may pose to local ecosystems and animals.
So what should we think about wind power? Should these facilities be dismantled? The following is a detailed analysis of this problem.
First, the location of wind power generation
The practical application of wind power began in the 1970s, and Denmark was the first country to introduce it and achieve grid-connected power generation.
Wind power uses wind energy to convert into electricity, so the distribution of wind resources is crucial. But some countries are concerned about the possible impact of inappropriate site selection on the ecological environment and human life.
In China, due to the vast area, wind power is usually built in sparsely populated areas, so it has little impact on human life and will not be grounds for demolition.
Wind power generation and bird survival
In addition to location issues, some countries are concerned about the impact of wind power on birds.
Although wind power may have some impact on birds, the actual number of birds killed is relatively small, and modern designs have been designed to reduce the harm to birds.
By comparison, tall buildings kill far more birds each year than wind power. Removing wind power will not solve the problem of bird protection, and it needs the joint efforts of the whole society.
Third, demolition decisions in Western countries
Some Western countries have considered dismantling wind power, but not out of concern for the environment, but because they believe that wind power is relatively cost-effective, requires heavy reliance on foreign technology and equipment, and may have an impact on national interests and energy needs.
However, some Western countries pay attention to environmental protection, and they will not easily dismantle wind power generation, but solve the problem through technical means, such as setting up early warning devices along bird migration routes.
To sum up, wind power, as a clean, renewable energy source, is crucial to climate change and environmental protection. Countries should jointly promote its development and utilization, rather than dismantling it easily.
However, many problems still need to be solved in the promotion and application, including international cooperation and ecological protection.
