Description
1. Introduction In the present complex socio-economic, political and environmental context of the mainly developed countries, the notion of power as source [1-3] and as discourse [4-25], plays a fundamental role in these societies development and prosperities. The main orientation of the above studies is concentrated on the involvement of alternative fuels-in the form of renewables-to sustain the conventional energy production grid. Among the available renewables, the present study is focusing on the energy production of wind farms. The negative impacts of wind farms operation could be grouped in the various determining parameters. Particularly, the wind turbines placing both to onshore and offshore land could cause visual intrusion. Visual intrusion impact is difficult to handle, since these wind turbines' installation is commonly accompanying by noise production during turbine towers operation. Noise is soundly amplifying and causing annoyance to the nearby residential areas, even at very low levels of operating sound. The above setting of problems usually impacts on house prices at the regions of wind farms proximity.
