Wind+energy+-+Min+Yap

 Wind Energy: - wind turbines usually used for water pumping or communication - homeowners, farmers and ranchers use them as a way to cut electric bills advantages of wind energy: - environmentally friendly; no fossil fuel is used - takes up less space than the average power station. gives the extra place for agricultural activities. - new technologies are making the extraction of wind energy more efficient. - great resource to geenrate energy in remote areas (e.g. mountain communities and remote countryside) - when combined with solar electricity--> energy great for developed and develop countries with a steady and reliable supply of electricity

Disadvantages: - winds unreliabilty factor-- in some places the wind strength is too low to support a wind farm or turbine. a way to solve it is by using solar power or geothermal power. - produce less electricity than average fossil fueled power station. <-- a lot of wind turbines have to be built to achieve that effect - wind turbine can be expensive and costly to wildlife during building process - noise pollution from commercial wind turbines--> the noise pollution is equal to a small jet plane - causes protests and/or petition due to damage of environment
