Wind Farm Debate: Energy vs Wildlife

Thursday, 01 May, 2025111 words2 minutes
A big wind farm might be built in Scotland. It would make lots of power, but some people are worried. They think it could hurt many birds.
The wind farm would have over 300 big windmills in the sea. It would make power for millions of homes. But some groups say it's too close to where many birds live.
These groups want the government to say no to the plan. They think there are better places to put wind farms that won't hurt birds. The company that wants to build it says they've tried to make it safe for birds. Now, everyone is waiting to see what the government will decide.
