2. Here in Norway we do not have as many windmills as
other countries, like Germany for example. One of the
reasons for this is because some bird species have a
tendency to become attracted by moving objects.
They do therefore get nocked down by the mill’s
blades, after flying in to one of the mills. The blades
rotate at such an immense speed and power, that the
bird immediately dies. One bird specie which is
endangered is the sea eagle.
3. Another argument is that the windmills look “ugly”
we want Norway to consist of pure untouched
nature, and the windmills prevents us from achieving
this.
However let us not forget that Norway has a
multitude of hydroelectric power plants, and we are
therefore less dependent of windmills and
windpower.
4. Windmills in Norway
Judging from the information we have
found, the number of windmills built in Norway
is today at 441 mills.
