Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that wind farms reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation?

Yes. A life cycle assessment of wind power in China reports wind farms emit about 1/40 the CO2 of coal power and cut SO2, NOX and PM10 substantially, and a reference overview states wind power emits no air pollution and far less greenhouse gas than the average electricity unit. Two World Bank project documents add that specific Indian wind farms are intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
