, is relatively minor. According to the
IPCC
, in assessments of the
life-cycle global warming potential of energy sources
, wind turbines have a
median
value of between 12 and 11 (
g

low carbon power
sources, wind turbines have some of the lowest
global warming potential
per unit of electrical energy generated.
