All power generation, however, has environmental impacts (May 2015) including wind energy. It is not free of problems (Union of Concerned Scientists Citation 2009), although they are small when contrasted to those associated with other sources of energy (US Department of Interior Citation 2011; Al Zohbi et al. Citation 2015).).
Despite these benefits, clean energy technologies can have environmental consequences before, during, and after their useful lifespans. EERE supports a wide range of projects that help reduce impacts on our ecosystem. From projects that use machine learning to ...
