Wind turbines pose threat to Baltic porpoise: researcherBerlin (AFP) March 22, 2010 Sound pollution from offshore wind turbines poses a threat to Baltic Sea porpoises, a German marine mammal specialist said on Monday.

"There are methods to reduce the noise. They are costly but allow the considerable reduction of volume of noise produced by the wind turbines, which threaten at least that population" of mar ... read more |
