What are the bad things about wind turbines?
Unsightly. Dependent on the wind blowing. So electrical output is irregular and intermittant.
How fast wind turbines spin?
It depends on how hard/fast the wind is blowing- the harder/faster the wind blows the faster the wind turbine spins
How many average wind turbines are needed to replace 1 average nuclear power plant?
About 500, when the wind is blowing
How many wind turbines replace a coal power station?
A v 90 wind turbine produces around 3 megawatts an hour of electricity when the wind is blowing.
Some argue that wind power should be use more than it is now what argument could someone make against the use of wind power?
It is expensive to build and maintain wind turbines. Where the wind is blowing is often not where the electricity is needed. The wind may not be blowing when there is a demand for electricity.
What happens to the sediments when the wind stops blowing or water stops moving?
deposition
When does wind-carried fall to the ground?
When the wind stops blowing.
A wind that never stops blowing is?
incessant =]
Do cows fall over when the wind stops blowing?
No, cows are pretty heavy and stable, so when the wind stops blowing, they don't fall over.

When there is no wind is the turbine nonproductive or does it store energy in batteries?
Turbines only produce electricity when they are turning, that is, when the wind is blowing.

How many average wind turbines are needed to replace 1 average nuclear power plant?

What role do batteries have in wind turbines?
The wind turbines need the batteries to store the energy. The batteries allow the short-term energy storage within the wind turbine system. This is for cases when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing.

What is the point in wind turbines?
There is no point in wind turbines
