4. Wind farm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_farm

   The environmental impact of electricity generation from wind power is minor when compared to that of fossil fuel power. [117] Wind turbines have some of the lowest global warming potential per unit of electricity generated: far less greenhouse gas is emitted than for the average unit of electricity, so wind power helps limit climate change. [118]

6. Small wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_wind_turbine

   The feed-in tariff applies to solar panels and small wind turbines and requires utilities to buy back electricity generated from renewable energy sources at government-established rates. Small-scale wind power (turbines of less than 20 kW capacity) will be subsidized at least 57.75 JPY (about 0.74 USD per kwh). [21]
