		<description><![CDATA[The focus of this study is to explore the effect that the deployment of a large share of wind energy has on the Northwest European power generation mix in the current market circumstances. The starting point of the study is that wind power is added to the power generation system with the aim to reduce CO2 emissions. Several other studies, papers and reports have been published on this subject which underline the complexity of the issue. Facts, projections and speculations .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wind-power: inordinately expensive and ineffective at cutting CO2 emissions The focus on wind-power, driven by the renewables targets, is preventing Britain from effectively reducing CO2 emissions, while crippling energy users with additional costs, according to a new Civitas report. The report finds that wind-power is unreliable and requires back-up power stations to be available in order to maintain a consistent electricity supply to households and businesses. This means that energy users pay twice: once for the window-dressing of renewables, and .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[A review of the literature &#038; discussion of the issues ~~ This paper addresses not only the issues of wind energy policy where it violates the basic living environment of families and the adverse health effects ofwind turbine noise, but also assesses the considerable number of anecdotal reports from people living with wind turbine noise. As noted in the authors&#8217; 2007 paper, although there are many who dismiss anecdotal reports as inconsequential or meaningless, these reports are from real people, .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Karen Ellemann,* Following previous correspondence, I am writing this letter to express my concern regarding the limits for low frequency noise from wind turbines now being proposed. Back in January 2011 we applauded your announcement of the new regulations regarding low frequency noise and the fact that you also then emphasised that those regulations would not be tightened and that it was a question of improving the security in connection with the installation of wind turbines. Accordingly, the reaction .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[— As renewable energy sources produce power intermittently, they cannot replace gas, coal and nuclear generation, even with further development. — Solar and wind energy have no prospect of becoming economically competitive in an unrigged market. Government intervention will lead to higher energy costs and jeopardize energy security. — Increased investment in wind turbines will do little to reduce carbon emissions and fossil fuel consumption. The report ‘Renewable Energy: Vision or Mirage?’, released today by the Adam Smith Institute and .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The noise most commonly associated with wind farms, and frequently complained of, is the repetitive swishing beat occurring at turbine blade rotation frequency, which is known as Amplitude Modulation (AM) of the aerodynamic turbine noise. In 2007 the Government commissioned the University of Salford and the Hayes McKenzie Partnership (HMP) to investigate AM noise by means of a survey of wind farm noise complaints lodged with local authorities. At the time of publication the resulting Salford report1 did not reveal .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Regular visitors to the Scottish hills cannot have failed to notice the increasing environmental influence of renewable energy in recent years. Windfarms now feature prominently in views from many of our most iconic &#8216;wild&#8217; mountains, a trend likely to accelerate with the Scottish Government&#8217;s tight timetable to generate all of Scotland&#8217;s power needs with low carbon technologies. If many more large onshore windfarms now look inevitable, then the question of how best to minimise their environmental impact arguably gains greater .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Executive summary This research paper has been commissioned by MAS Environmental Ltd. It challenges many of the commonly accepted assumptions on the influence of wind shear on wind turbine noise introduced by an article published in 2009. The article outlined changes to the assessment of wind shear reasoning that by altering background noise levels for wind shear, permitted turbine noise limits would be lowered. The 2009 article method for assessing wind shear was not based on research and was developed .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Abstract First we describe the models presently used by others to calculate fuel saving and reduction of CO2 emission through windparks. These models are incomplete. Neglected factors deminish the calculated savings. Using wind data of a normal windy day in the Netherlands it will be shown that windparks of various size cause extra fuel consumption instead of fuel saving, when compared to electricity production with modern gas turbines only. We demonstrate that such losses occur. Factors taken into account are: .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>
