Are small wind turbines an effective source of wind power?

Small wind turbines are an effective source of wind power, but a single turbine will generate power only when the wind hits it at a specific angle and strength. This is why multiple wind turbines are often used at a single site, to pick up different gusts of wind.

How does wind power help?

Wind turbines use the wind to rotate blades that turn a rotor - which creates electricity. They range from very small turbines supplying energy for battery charging systems (for example on boats or in homes), to turbines grouped on wind farms supplying electricity to the national grid.Wind power helps the environment, because, it lasts for as long as the planet Earth is around. Wind power does not pollute the wind, it can be used almost anywhere it can be hooked up to an electrical outlet, and there are many ways to harness wind power: Offshore, onshore, tall wind turbines (hundreds of feet tall), short wind turbines (tens of feet tall), wind turbines on rooftops, airborne wind turbines and wind turbines that are built by do it yourself people. Wind power does not kill as many bats or birds as anti wind power turbine people claim, and it is not that noisy.

Why is wind power not used to generate electricity needed for large cities?

Simply because of the space that would be needed for the wind-turbines ! The amount of power produced by a single wind turbine is relatively small. In order to power a large city, you would need thousands of turbines - which would occupy huge swathes of land !
