need to be pointed in the direction of the wind to produce power. Finally‚ there is potential for large power generation with VAWT because their size can be increased greatly. However‚ there are also downfalls to the VAWT. Firstly‚ boundary layer affects from the ground influence the air stream incident on the VAWT‚ which in some cases leads to inconsistent wind patterns. Secondly‚ VAWT are not self-starting; currently‚ an outside power source is required to start turbine rotation until a certain

Habitat loss—due to destruction‚ fragmentation or degradation of habitat—is the primary threat to the survival of wildlife in the United States. When an ecosystem has been dramatically changed by human activities—such as agriculture‚ oil and gas exploration‚ commercial development or water diversion—it may no longer be able to provide the food‚ water‚ cover‚ and places to raise young. Every day there are fewer places left that wildlife can call home. There are three major kinds of habitat
