Wind power helps the environment in several ways. Most electrical power is generated either by burning fossil fuels (natural gas or coal) or using nuclear reactors. Both of these methods present dangers to the environment. Burning fossil fuels pollutes the atmosphere and contributes to global warming which the overwhelming majority of experts in this field believe will, if unchecked, destroy our way of life. Nuclear reactors present the possibility of catastrophic failures which will contaminate the environment with radioactive material that's toxic to animal life.
Wind power has none of these negative factors, thus it's safer for the environment.

Why is wind power important?
Wind power is a type of power that produces no pollution and does not use up any resources. That is what we need, to avoid harming the environment in which we live.
What are some of the negative effects of wind energy?
they are really noisey and kill birds and it is not good for the environment eyesore these are some negatives of wind power
Is wind good for the environment?
If you are talking about Wind Power for getting electricity, Wind is not harmful or toxic to the environment. Although it may kill birds as the turbines turn and due to the turbines going around without stopping, the noise is very loud. Also to make a Wind Power station, you would need a lot of ground, away from towns or villages.
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.
What are the negative effects of wind power?
Noisy, kills birds, not good for the environment eyesore, not competitive with current energy production, when the wind does not blow it's revenue negative,
Is wind harmful to the environment?
wind can help power our homes with electricity. It is good, because we are using an environmental-friendly source of electricity.
Does wind help out with the environment?
Since flowers are part of the environment...wind does help out. Wind helps out by carrying pollen to another flower. And when wind does that it creates more flowers!:)
How is wind power collected extracted removed from the environment?
By building a windmill to turn the wind power into electrical power
Why is windmills good for the environment?
You are using wind power not electricity so basically if you use wind power you are saving the environment because you are using nature
Why is wind power important?
Wind power is a type of power that produces no pollution and does not use up any resources. That is what we need, to avoid harming the environment in which we live.
How does wind energy affect the environment?
Wind energy does not help the environment exactly. But using other sources of energy such as burning fossil fuels or using nuclear power can hurt the environment. So wind is less hurtful 6 these other sources energy in many ways because wind energy does not create harmful waste products (CO2 in the case of fossil fuels and radioactive waste were nuclear power). Wind energy has it's own problems however: it has been show that the turbines can kill birds that fly into them, and some people find them ugly to look at. There are no sources of energy that are known that HELP the environment. There are just some that hurt it less than others. The best way to help the environment is to let it be undisturbed!!
How do robots impact the environment?
Robots can be used to help the environment in manufacturing solar power, wind farms and recycling systems. At recycling plants they can be used to sort out the recyclable items from the non-recyclable ones.
Does wind power help us?
yes
How could sun power and wind power help keep the earth clean?
Sun and wind power help keep the earth clean because they allow us to reduce the amount of oil and gas we use, maybe even replace them, and they don't harm the environment. If we can use renewable power instead of oil and gas, then we won't be emitting as much carbon dioxide, and can reduce the effects of global warming.
What are some examples of wind power?
Wind power is found in wind farms, producing electricity for everyone, people sometimes use the solar panels for saving the Environment but I think it's a good idea.
How do wind turbines help the environment?
Wind turbines create an electricity which is made from natural resources,(wind, hence the name wind turbine!) This electricity is much better for the environment because you don't have to burn natural gas or use the mains. :-)
How does Hydro power help the environment?
yes.
