This only happens when turbine bearings wear out, crankcases run out of lubricant, cables are damaged during rotation, there are electrical shorts, or electrical arcing occurs in the transmission and distribution facilities. These towers are responsible for interference in televisions, radios and telephones. This happens when communication signals reflect off of the rotating blades of wind turbines and very high voltage transmission lines. Sulfur dioxide causes acid rain, which causes death among fish and other wild life. It also may lead to asthma and other respiratory illnesses.
Positive effects are especially in remote areas by generating power in remote areas.
People in remote areas use considerably more electricity than a similar user in a city because of the extra power needed to overcome transmission losses. Transportation of electrical energy can be wasteful. By generating in remote areas saves some of this loss by alleviation the need for as much energy to be transported long distances. Land with a wind turbine can still be used as valuable farmland. Burning fossil fuels are poisonous and bad for our health.
