All large-scale energy systems have environmental impacts, and the ability to compare the impacts of renewable energy sources is an important step in planning a future without coal or gas power. Wind beats coal by any environmental measure, but that doesn’t mean that its impacts are negligible. Source: Miller and Keith (2018a).
