OverviewThe decision of where a wind farm is located involves several steps. No site is perfect. You will research the topography and weather of each potential site. You should consider land use and impact on the environment. You can create designs to showcase wind technology. Once a location meets your scientific needs, the impact on the community should be addressed, including cost and aesthetics. A successful presentation at a community meeting involving concerned citizens is necessary to accomplish the goal of creating your plant.
