Answer by Sreejith
1. The wind is free and
with modern technology
it can be captured
efficiently.
2. Once the wind turbine
is built the energy it
produces does not cause
green house gases or
other pollutants.
3. Although wind
turbines can be very tall
each takes up only a
small plot of land. This
means that the land
below can still be used.
This is especially the case
in agricultural areas as
farming can still continue.
4. Many people find wind
farms an interesting
feature of the landscape.
5. Remote areas that are
not connected to the
electricity power grid can
use wind turbines to
produce their own
supply.
6. Wind turbines have a
role to play in both the
developed and third
world.
7. Wind turbines are
available in a range of
sizes which means a vast
range of people and
businesses can use them.
Single households to
small towns and villages
can make good use of
range of wind turbines
available today.
DISADVANTAGES OF
WIND POWER:
1. The strength of the
wind is not constant and
it varies from zero to
storm force. This means
that wind turbines do not
produce the same
amount of electricity all
the time. There will be
times when they produce
no electricity at all.
2. Many people feel that
the countryside should
be left untouched,
without these large
structures being built.
The landscape should left
in its natural form for
everyone to enjoy.
3. Wind turbines are
noisy. Each one can
generate the same level
of noise as a family car
travelling at 70 mph.
4. Many people see large
wind turbines as unsightly
structures and not
pleasant or interesting to
look at. They disfigure
the countryside and are
generally ugly.
5. When wind turbines
are being manufactured
some pollution is
produced. Therefore
wind power does
produce some pollution.
6. Large wind farms are
needed to provide entire
communities with
enough electricity. For
example, the largest
single turbine available
today can only provide
enough electricity for
475 homes, when
running at full capacity.
How many would be
needed for a town of 100
000 people?
