| Nov 24, 2016 at 18:10 | comment | added | Physther | Thank you, Kate! That's what I thought at the beginning. So I guess it's a combination of everything, physics, regulations, biology etc. | |
| Nov 24, 2016 at 18:03 | comment | added | Kate Gregory | Where I live, the turbines may not be within several hundred m of any woodlot, stream, road, house etc. It's regulation, to protect those areas from both the disruption of construction and any ongoing disruption or risk that could arise during 20 years of operation. | |

| Nov 23, 2016 at 13:44 | comment | added | Physther | But after construction, you can plant trees. And yet, this does not happen. As for the permit, I don't see the connection with the trees. Can you please explain more what you mean by that? (Please keep in mind that we are speaking about some hundreds of square meters where there is nothing but fields (or crops in some sites). | |

| Nov 23, 2016 at 13:03 | comment | added | mart | My guess is ease of construction and permit concerns are prime reasons. But I'll wait for the resident wind energy expert and his answer. | |
