This is a wind farm; a possible source of alternative energy.In our day and age wind turbines are big source of alternative energy. They are a big part of our future and a healthy step forward into exploring new ideas and possibilities. Wind farms are popping up everywhere, and it is no surprise that it is being built in Chile where wind energy is big. The problem is that where this wind farm is being built. Around the wind farm is a hotpot for krill and plankton and other mammal creatures. This attracts a the Blue Whale; the largest mammal known to man and is endangered. Many people say that the wind farm is potential threat to all of these animals. Many say it is not but the production has been halted to conduct further studies on this theory.
I am all for a more healthier form of energy and wind power is one of them, but if it costs the lives of marine life who are already endangered then it is useless. It is not fair for us to come up with a idea that will help us but kill the lives of others. I do not think that it is right for a company to put their wind farm in that spot. They always can move it, because even if they want to put it there, environmentalists will probably not let them.
Question 1- Do you think it is right for someone to put a wind farm in that particular spot?
Question 2- What would you do if you were the CEO of that company?
Question 3- What would you do if you were an environmentalist.
I agree with Varun because there is plenty of other places to put a wind farm. Unlike gas or coal there is wind almost everywhere in the world. You have to drill in certain places for most fossil fuels. I also think this could upset alot of eviromentalists.
ReplyDeleteQuestion 2- If I were the CEO I would go look for other ares where the wind is just as good. This would make everyone happy.

I agree as well, they didn't have to put the wind farm in that particular spot. They should have thought about where they put up this wind field before they started building to make sure it was perfectly safe.
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1: No, I think that they should have thought about it and made sure it wasn't going to affect any body or anything.
Question 1: I am all for the wind turbines but after hearing about this I think there should be a law enforced on where they can put them. You can't tell me that there isnt enough space where they cant move it somewhere else where it isnt harmful to the marine life.
