This site explains the environmental precautions being taken with a wind farm currently being created off the coast of the United Kingdom, in several locations. The prospect of this farm is exciting to me because it will help to offset the UK's energy needs, but there is of course concern about its other impacts. The wind farm project is being monitored by COWRIE (Collaborative Offshore Windfarm Research into the Environment), taking into consideration migratory bird patterns, natural wildlife, and other environmental concerns, which is very important. I think that such a grand scale endeavor is an important step in the right direction, and that making sure it has the smallest environmental impact is crucial.
