The Pros and Cons of Wind Power
There is no perfect energy source. Each and every one has its own rewards and drawbacks. In this paper I will explore the advantages and disadvantages of wind power.
Today the world needs to look at the different natural energy sources available to us. Global warming could be due to our energy craving lifestyle, while considering this possibility let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons of wind power.
It’s been said that wind energy can be a viable solution to most of our home energy bill problems. In addition to aiding us in decreasing our expenses on home energy, it is also environmentally friendly. Unlike many energy sources that release chemical substances into the atmosphere, wind generators only use wind power. It has no other byproducts that can damage our atmosphere causing ozone thinning and many other related problems. The only thing that the wind generator will produce is the cheap energy that you can use to power the appliances in your house.
A few of the major advantages of wind power are that it’s clean, renewable, and relatively cheap. In addition to being friendly to the surrounding environment, no fossil fuels are burnt to generate electricity from wind energy. Wind turbines take up less space than the average power station. Windmills only have to occupy a few square meters for the base; this allows the land around the turbine to be used for many purposes, for example agriculture. Wind turbines can also come in a range of different sizes in order to support varying population levels. Newer technologies are making the extraction of wind energy much more efficient. The wind is free, and we are able to cash in on this free source of energy. While the advantages of wind energy tend to be global the disadvantages are more of a local nature.
