As wind energy development continues to expand, federal, state and local agencies should adopt a consistent approach to evaluating the planning, regulation, and location of wind-energy projects. This National Research Council report proposes a framework that can help in evaluating tradeoffs between the benefits of new wind-energy projects and risks of adverse environmental impacts before projects begin.
This report brief was prepared by the National Research Council based on the committee’s report. For more information or copies, contact the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology at (202) 334-3060 or visit http://nationalacademies.org/best Copies of Environmental Impacts of Wind-Energy Projects are available from the National Academies Press, 500 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20001; (800) 624-6242; www.nap.edu.
