Advantages And Disadvantages Of Wind Ener
Advantages of Wind Energy
Clean & Environment friendly Fuel source:– It doesn’t pollute air like power plant relying on combustion of fossil fuel. It does not produce atmospheric emissions that cause acid rain or green house gases (carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane (CH4)). Noise and visual pollution are both environmental factors, but they don’t have a negative effect on the earth, water table or the quality of the air we breathe.
Renewable & Sustainable:– Winds are caused by heating of atmosphere by the sun, earth surface irregularities and the rotation of the earth. For as long as the sun shines the wind blows, the energy produced can be harnessed and It will never run out, unlike the Earth’s fossil fuel reserves.
Cost Effective:– Wind energy is completely free. There’s no market for the demand and supply of wind energy’s, It can be used by anyone and is one of the lowest price renewable technologies available today, depending upon the wind resource and the particular project’s financing.
Disadvantages of Wind Energy
Not a profitable use of land:– Alternative uses for the land might be more highly valued than electricity generation.
Threat to wildlife:– Birds have been killed by flying into spinning turbine blades. However it is believed that wind turbines pose less of a threat to wildlife than other man made structures such as cell phone masts and radio towers. Most of the problems have been resolved or greatly reduced through technological development or by properly siting wind plants.
