Wind farms are considered as being good.
They provide energy with no pollution.
Downsides are no wind, no power.
The windmills are also quite costly to make and maintain.
In the 80's it was considered that a windmill would never be able to produce energy enough to cover the cost of its production.
This has changed, possibly due to higher cost of electricity.
Windmills are today considered a strong viable source of renewable energy.

The sun is more powerful than the wind because it provides the energy that drives wind patterns. Solar radiation heats the Earth's surface unevenly, creating temperature variations that generate wind as air moves to equalize these temperature differences. So, ultimately, the sun is the primary source of energy for the wind.
H. Allen Franklin became CEO of Georgia Power in 2000.
i'ves seen the winds!
:
I've seen it move a flag and stuff.. but haven't seen it for real.......
seen in Dream it is coolllllll
Still another answer:
Who Has Seen the Wind?
By Christina Rossetti 1830-1894
Who has seen the wind?Neither I nor you:But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.
Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.
:
I've seen it with the help of rain,splitting into smaller water droplets by striking walls of my house,and light of a street lamp.They get blown away,and making a silhouette like image,making the wind near visible.
there are many disadvantages of winds
:- winds uproot trees
:- winds causes air pollution as during flow of wind much dust is swinnging
we could have a tornado
Yes. At leat 25 countries around the world harvest geothermal energy, from USA to Thailand.
Advantage: It will go further from parent plant and avoid overcrowding .
Disadvantages: It will reduce the chance of survival for the seed as if it floats to a place without soil, it cannot germinate.
While wind energy has become an increasingly important and viable source of renewable energy, there are certain limitations associated with its use. Some of these limitations include:
**Intermittency and Variability:**
**Location Dependency:**
**Land Use and Aesthetics:**
**Noise Concerns:**
**Infrastructure and Transmission:**
**Initial Costs:**
**Environmental Impact:**
Despite these limitations, technological advancements, ongoing research, and improvements in energy storage systems are helping to address some of the challenges associated with wind energy. Additionally, a diversified energy portfolio that includes a mix of renewable sources can help mitigate the limitations of any single energy technology.
Unsightly.
Dependent on the wind blowing. So electrical output is irregular and intermittant.
With the ancients as 'windmills' to grind corn/wheat etc., and to drive up water.
Wind power has been used for thousands of years, dating back to ancient civilizations that used windmills for grinding grain and pumping water. Modern wind power, in the form of large-scale wind turbines for electricity generation, has been around since the late 19th century.
The main obstacle to using wind power to generate electricity is the intermittent nature of wind. Wind speeds can fluctuate, causing variability in the amount of power generated. This creates challenges in integrating wind power into the electrical grid and requires the use of energy storage or backup power sources to ensure a reliable electricity supply.
The rotor is driven round by the wind and this drives a generator which is mounted behind the rotor and connected by a shaft. The electrical energy is then transmitted down the support column and distributed to the outside world.
Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, have long been the primary source of energy for industrial, transportation, and residential purposes. However, they come with several significant drawbacks, including:
Environmental Impact: Fossil fuel combustion releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, contributing to global climate change and causing air pollution. This results in various environmental problems, including rising temperatures, sea-level rise, and extreme weather events.
Depletion of Resources: Fossil fuels are finite resources. As they are extracted and consumed, reserves deplete, leading to concerns about future energy security and rising costs of extraction as resources become scarcer.
Air and Water Pollution: Burning fossil fuels produces pollutants like sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds. These pollutants can harm human health, lead to acid rain, and contaminate water sources.
Habitat Disruption: Extracting fossil fuels can disrupt ecosystems and wildlife habitats. For example, mining and drilling can destroy forests and wetlands, and the construction of infrastructure, such as pipelines and roads, can fragment habitats.
Spills and Accidents: Transportation and processing of fossil fuels can lead to accidents, such as oil spills from tankers or pipeline leaks, which can have devastating effects on ecosystems and local communities.
Geopolitical Tensions: Many nations depend on fossil fuels, and this dependence can lead to geopolitical tensions, conflicts, and power imbalances in regions with abundant reserves.
Price Volatility: Fossil fuel prices are subject to significant fluctuations due to factors such as supply disruptions, geopolitical events, and changes in demand. This volatility can impact energy security and economic stability.
Health Impacts: Air pollution from fossil fuel combustion is linked to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Long-term exposure to polluted air can lead to serious health problems.
Energy Inefficiency: The process of extracting, refining, and transporting fossil fuels is energy-intensive. This results in a significant energy loss before the final product reaches end-users.
Limited Energy Diversity: Overreliance on fossil fuels can make energy systems vulnerable to supply disruptions and price spikes. Diversifying energy sources can enhance energy security.
Given these drawbacks, there is a growing global shift towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources, such as renewable energy (solar, wind, hydroelectric), to reduce the negative impacts associated with fossil fuels and combat climate change.
because they wanted to make it seem like the animals work was not guareented to be a success they also just wanted to show the animals on their farm that animal farm wasnt controllable with animals running it
Log onto "google" click on "images" at the top of the screen "type in "windmill" then send.
IM A farmer and i thinkwind farms are good as long as they are away from me and all of myanimalllsss/.
yes they do they're powered by wind so they don't hurt anything but the birds that get caught in them and the drivers who get sidetrackted -from somone else.... lol
Convection current move fluids upwards and downwards (like boiling soup) and distribute heat energy. An upward convection current in the atmosphere is called a "Thermal" (which usually have a small cumulus cloud on top) and some species of birds use these to gain height, circling round in them and getting taken up with the rising hot air without having to flap. When they have gained altitude they can then come out of the thermal and glide to the next while hunting or migrating.
Using the rising air in the thermals means that they save energy themselves (by not having to flap) and this help them survive.
