Answer:

Wind turbines may impact the migratory routes of birds.

Explanation:

Wind energy is the energy obtained from the wind, that is, the kinetic energy of the masses of air that is converted into electricity or other useful forms of energy for human activities. The term "wind" comes from the Latin aeolicus, meaning "belonging to or relative to Aeolus", god of the winds in Greek mythology. At present, wind energy is mainly used to produce electricity through wind turbines connected to large electric power distribution networks, among others. Wind farms built on land represent a source of energy that is increasingly cheaper and more competitive, and even cheaper in many regions than other conventional energy sources. Small wind farms can, for example, provide electricity in remote and isolated regions that do not have access to the electricity grid, as well as photovoltaic solar energy. Electricity distribution companies increasingly acquire surplus electricity produced by small domestic wind installations. The boom in wind energy has also led to the planning and construction of offshore wind farms - often referred to as offshore wind farms, located near the coasts. Wind energy is more stable and strong at sea than on land, and offshore wind farms have a lower visual impact, but their construction and maintenance costs are considerably higher.

According to evidence from the operational experience of a large number of wind farms, birds are the fauna that is most affected, both by the existence and operation of wind turbines and by the power lines attached, since mammals, reptiles and rodents can share the habitat, without major apparent problems, with the mills.

What is an energy issue our society faces today?
sleet_krkn [62]
Clean energy vs. dirty energy. Renewable energy.The biggest challenge faced by America in 2016 is that of moving our energy use away from fossil fuels in order to address climate change.There is overwhelming scientific consensus that the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases due to use of fossil fuels is warming earth’s climate, and will result in sea level rise, loss of agricultural areas and increasingly severe weather events. The challenge is to create the political will to take aggressive action consistent with this knowledge by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.
<span>The EPA’s Clean Power Plan, and recent Paris agreement are steps in the right direction, but aren’t sufficient to put us on a safe path. We can achieve a greater reduction of carbon emissions by creating incentives which work throughout the economy to encourage conservation and a shift to low-carbon energy. Incentives such as a tax on fossil carbon can accomplish this without damaging the economy, if carbon-tax revenues are returned to households, for example as a dividend similar to a tax refund.</span>Look for plenty of myth-busting and interesting news to come, as well as practical tips to reduce your own energy dependence. Though no single energy source is going to be the solution, positive developments toward a cleaner future are happening every single day.<span>. Waste

Also...maybe Climate Change, Waste, Water, Food, </span>Ecosystems and Endangered Species, The Science of Public Health Issues. All of these are environmental problems we face.  But Ya!!!! I hope this helps!!! This is all I know about this topic!!! Good Luck! :)

ValentinkaMS [17]
That statement is True.

Body language plays a really important factor in every speech because it formed audience's main perception about you.
You need to make sure that you eliminate all negative non-verbal behaviors such as slouching your shoulder, keep looking on the ground, or delivering a speech with low volume.
