14 DAY TRIAL // Earlier this month, I introduced you to a really cool interactive map developed by brainiacs working with the United States Geological Survey.
The map in question shows over 47,000 wind turbines that are currently up and running across the country, and also offers specifications concerning their make, model, size, and electricity output.
As reported, it was created using data provided by the Federal Aviation Administration, and also high-resolution aerial imagery.
What's interesting is that, according to Yale Environment, researchers plan to use this map as a tool to better document how wind turbines affect wildlife.
Specifically, the information contained in it will serve to gain a better understanding of wildlife collisions, and also to analyze exactly how many wind energy facilities stand in the way of migratory flyways.
By the looks of it, the map will also be used to study interactions between wind turbines and ground-based radar.
