Benefits and Risks of an Offshore Wind Project – The Atlantic Shores South Project off the New Jersey Coast Save Long Beach Island

Author:  Save Long Beach Island

Myth and Fact Regarding the Atlantic Shores South Project off Long Beach Island (LBI) and Brigantine, NJ There has been and continues to be much misinformation about the benefits and damage from offshore wind projects. Based on Save LBI’s professional-level research over the past four years regarding the Atlantic Shores project, we provide below what we believe represents both the unfounded and well founded information regarding that project. Many of the issues for that project are found in others. We . . .

Quantifying the visual impact of wind farm lights on the nocturnal landscape

Author:  Bará, Salvador; and Lima Raul

Highlights— A model for quantifying light pollution from wind turbine lights is proposed. Brightness of lights from wind turbines can far exceed that of the brightest stars. The visual range of wind farms at night is generally larger than at daytime. A study of the visual impact at night of four prospective windfarms is presented. The model proposed may be used in environmental impact and landscape assessments. ABSTRACT— Wind farm lights are a conspicuous feature in the nocturnal landscape. Their . . .

Offshore Wind Turbine Visibility and Visual Impact Threshold Distances

Author:  Sullivan, Robert; et al.

[Abstract] Potential visual impact on coastal lands has emerged as a major concern in the development of offshore wind facilities in the United States and Europe. Optimal siting of offshore facilities requires accurate knowledge of the relationship between distance and the visibility of wind turbines. Past assessments of offshore wind turbine visibility were based on smaller turbines and facilities in use at the time and underestimate visibility for current projects, which use more and larger larger turbines. This study is . . .

Some Sobering Facts – Viking Energy Wind Farm

Author:  Permar, Roxane

I go through phases when I’m obsessed with facts about the Viking Energy Wind Farm in Shetland. Perhaps this compulsion to collect information is fuelled by my disbelief – I cannot comprehend the scale; I cannot understand the way some people, including those who gave the green light for consent here in Shetland, unthinkingly accept information without questioning the veracity of the facts, from the potential consequences of the human and environmental impact involved as well as the ethics behind . . .
