The greatest benefit that wind turbines offer is the reduced chance of striking a bird with a plane. Great news if you are a pilot. Te ends the up side. Let's look at the negatives now.
1 They kill birds and bats. Massachusetts claims 100K a year there alone.
2. No energy production in real terms. The wind is variable and therefore fossil fuel plants run (at idle) to be available to supply power. Net result, 95% of the energy of fossil fuel plants burn and unused.
3. Land consumption. Besides ugly they take the place of crop land and trees must not be near them.
4. Maintenance. They are very high maintenance devices. Great of you repair them, bad for the environment

How does the speed of the wind affect the amount of energy produced?
The faster the wind, the faster the wind turbine will turn
How does wind energy effect the community?
It doesn't affect the community.
How does wind affect our everyday lives?
wind affects our every day lives because every day we have a least 10% of wind, and wind can affect us because if we wanted to go to the pool it may be too cool to go, and also if we wanted to go camping it may get so cold that it may low our tent away.
How does thermal energy have an affect on your daily lives?
cooking and boiling water
How does the amount of wind affect the amount of energy that can be produced by the windmill?
minimum wind speed is 15km/s but when high speed of wind rotates the blade of windmill .it rotates fasteer than before .so the energy is change
Will wind energy be easy to assimilate into your lives?
have no idea
How does wind energy affect wind turbines?
It makes them turn, like a windmill, and this kinetic energy is used to make electrical energy.
How does the speed of the wind affect the amount of energy produced?
The faster the wind, the faster the wind turbine will turn
Why is wind energy better for the planet?
Wind Energy does not affect the atmosphere. Fossil Fuels create smog and smoke which damages the atmosphere.
How does wind energy effect the community?
It doesn't affect the community.
How does wind energy affect the economy?
It benefits our economy and makes our energy bills cheape.
How much does the wind speed affect a windmill?
Wind speed effects how much energy a windmill produces. The faster the windmill goes, the more energy it produces.

Why is wind energy good for environment?
Energy from wind is less detrimental to the environment than most other electricity generation. Wind turbines need complex and advanced production facilities that pollute. Wind energy is not just good for the environment because there is noise pollution and the placement can affect certain wildlife.
How does the speed of wind or water affect energy?
cause in england there's a drought and you have to pay for water
