Wind farms are a clean and efficient way of producing energy for Scotland. Whitelee wind farm Is one of the biggest wind farms in Europe and has 215 turbines witch produces 539 megawatts witch can power 300 000 homes. However to build a wind farm it needs to be windy and have plenty of room. Some disadvantages are you need to have a high windy place that is large enough for the turbines also some people think it ruins the aesthetics of the landscape. There's some advantages too like once they are build it's very clean and it can reduce the amount of pollution that is produced form power plants etc. Though in the construction faze animal habitats can get destroyed but once finished it can be restored and a healthy place for animals to live.
