Misinformation and myths about wind power are often spread by people who want to oppose wind farms. Here we look at some of the most common myths, and give you the facts to counter them.
- Myth 1
- Wind turbines spoil the landscape
- Myth 2
- Wind turbines kill lots of birds
- Myth 3
- Tourists hate wind farms
- Myth 4
- Wind turbines are noisy
- Myth 5

Showing our opposition to something is often easier than voicing our support but in the case of wind power it's really important that people speak out in favour. Planners and politicians need to know that people want wind developments in their area.
There are loads of ways you can support your local wind farm, either on your own or by teaming up with others in your area.
