Is it true that most places have winds that blow steadily enough to be a worthwhile energy source?

Upper mountain regents have a steady enough wind current to sustain wind power for quite some time to come, but most areas are not located on high mountain tops.
The wind speeds need to average about 14 mph to make wind power generation worthwhile, without subsidies. There are actually few locations that conform to this specification. Wind technology is moving forward though and could someday be practical in a larger number of areas.

When a flashlight is turned on where does the energy transformation takes places?
The electric energy will be transfered to light energy and heat energy once flashlight turn on.
When wave interfere is there a loss of energy?
Not necessarily. In some places there is destructive interference, meaning there will be less energy, but in places where there is constructive interference, the amplitude of the wave will be up to twice the amplitude of the individual waves - and the energy up to four times as much.
In what places do you use wind?
We use wind in places like windmills, for wave energy, at sea: pushing the sail of a boat, etc.
Where does hydroelectric energy have to be sited?
It works a lot better in places with flowing water.
What three places energy can be found?
Energy can be found almost everywhere. The six types of energy, chemical, light, electric, mechanical, thermal, and gamma can be found even at your home!
Do most places have winds that blow steadily enough to be a worth while energy source?
yes
Is it more worthwhile to live in the USA or the UK?
It is probably more worthwhile to live in the U.S. because there is more land space and places to be.
Why is the wind an energy source with limited uses?
A disadvantage of wind energy is that only a few places on Earth have enough wind to meet our energy needs.
Who can offer worthwhile business assistance?
There are many places where one can get worthwhile business assistance. There are many companies dedicated to helping one with their business matters. One may also find assistance from books that offer help with business practices.

What happens when muscles don't get enough oxyegen?
They get sore and start using energy from other places but soon they will stop all together if they are not getting the proper amount of oxygen.
Im 17 what are some places that are lacking energy?
I AM 17 AND I NEED TO KNOW WERE THERE ARE SOME PLACES THAT DON'T HAVE ENERGY OR ANY ELECTRICITY
Where is solar energy mostly used?
In sunny places like Arizona, also Australia is suitable. It is worthwhile when there is abundant sunshine and especially when the nearest grid line is a long way off, there is no other fuel nearby, and no chance of hydro power. Then you can make a direct comparison with wind power costs, but I suspect in many places solar is more reliable than wind. If solar is your only energy source you would need some way of storing electricity in a large battery for overnight use.
Does TRU energy offer service in the Melbourne area?
TRU Energy offers energy in many places. They are the second largest company to provide in energy services. One of the places they cover does include the Melbourne area.
What factors influence the amount of energy that different places on earth receives from the sun?
The main factor that influences the amount of energy that different places on Earth receive from the sun is the places location. The closer it is to the equator the more sun energy it will receive.
What places on earth get snow and what places don't?
anywhere that's fairly cold and high enough.
Why isn't geothermal energy being used all over?
Because it is only in certain places on the earth's surface that hot thermal conditions exist, which are stable enough to erect the plant to produce power.
