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.
