Is Wind Power Good or Bad ? A major issue in today’s world is finding an alternative energy source. Fossil fuel has been used for a very long time because it is a cheaper way to produce energy. Fossil fuel is a problem because it is non-renewable‚ which means it will eventually run out and this has us looking for another alternative for energy. That is why some people turn to wind power but‚ its a debate whether wind power is a good or bad alternative. It is a possibility but there are some

Solar Power In India India’s power sector has a total installed capacity of approximately 1‚46‚753 Megawatt (MW) of which 54% is coal-based‚ 25% hydro‚ 8% is renewables and the balance is the gas and nuclear-based. Power shortages are estimated at about 11% of total energy and 15% of peak capacity requirements and are likely to increase in the coming years. In the next 10 years‚ another 10‚000 MW of capacity and investment of about Rs. 24 lakh crore are required. Fortunately‚ India lies in sunny

of incorporation of solar power and wind power generation on high rise building in Malaysia. Malaysia being located at the equator having abundance of solar energy all year round is ideal for application of solar power generation but with the low wind speed on the ground‚ wind power generation may not be suitable. However‚ a good building design to enhance the wind flow and utilizing the height of a high rise building might create an opportunity for wind power generation to further boost the energy

Solar and wind power are alternative sources of energy which have been growing rapidly during this time of energy crisis. Wind and solar energies are considered an efficient and clean fuel. They do not cause any air or water pollution because they involve no burned fuel (MNIDER‚ 2008). Recently‚ there has been a focus on developing renewable energy resources. The main reason is that renewable energies are inexhaustible in contrast to the other energies such as fossil fuels‚ which widely considered
