Pros and Cons of Wind Energy
With every type of power generation come benefits as well as disadvantages and flaws.
Although wind power sounds like a flawless solution it too has camps pro and con and its advantages and disadvantages.
Those who are in the "pro camp" argue that compared to traditional power generation, which can have us exposed to dangers such as radioactive waste and pollution, wind power doesn't generate any harming waste at all, it is completely clean.
Even the installation of wind turbines has little environmental impact.
Wind power can be used to provide electricity to individual houses and isolated facilities.
Independent power supply with windmills can help in disaster areas, supply of electricity can be quickly restored.
Wind power doesn't require any fossil fuel like coal, oil or gas.
Although residents often complain about the appearance of wind farms, they also do, with the erection of nuclear power plants, admitting that these are smaller in numbers.
At least this is what the "cons camp" argues.
They also claim that the turbines are vulnerable to storms and hurricanes and their fragile, thin appearance is easily harmed.
Most damage is indeed caused by lightening which can be a problem for the hotter countries on this planet, where lightening is a frequent occurrence.
The "cons team" also fears for the flying companions, the birds who attempt to fly between them.
The "pro teams" say quite rightly that bird life also suffers from pollution caused by fossil fuels.
Noise is often mentioned as a nuisance, but varies greatly depending on wind speed and type of turbine.
Whatever the pros and cons, wind power is on the rise.
It is clean and governments have to find alternatives to the depleting fossil fuel reserves.
Even in oil countries wind farms are no rare occurrence and land is frequently offered to wind power companies.
The oil countries will sooner or later see themselves as energy countries and wind and solar are ready to be converted into electricity everywhere.
