Wind energy and environmental impact

Do wind turbines frighten livestock?

Wind farming is popular with farmers, because their land can continue to be used for growing crops or grazing livestock. Sheep, cows and horses are not disturbed by wind turbines.

The first wind farm built in the UK, Delabole in Cornwall is home to a stud farm and riding school, and the farmer, Peter Edwards, often rides around the wind farm on his horse.
