location factors

• Wind turbines work best in open places where no obstacles block the wind. They are often grouped together into large wind farms.

  
• Exposed hilly areas are good locations for wind farms, as winds tend to be stronger and more constant. 

  
• Offshore locations also work well because there is nothing to block or slow down the wind.

  
• Some people object to the appearance of wind farms, so their visual impact needs to be considered.

  
• Wind turbines can disturb wildlife and be dangerous to migrating birds if they are not carefully positioned.

  
• The construction of wind farms often involves the clearing of land, and the installation of roads and transmission lines, 


  which can lead to habitat fragmentation and disruption.
