Does wind power have any pollution?

Manufacturing a turbine will cause some pollution, assembling, erecting and connecting the turbine to the grid will cause some more. Servicing the turbine will also come at a certain environmental cost. Running the turbine will generate not only electricity but also noise, which some people refer to as sound pollution. But the everyday running of the turbine does not pollute. The fossil fuel plant that must run in tandem with the wind system will continue to produce the same volume of pollution and CO2 as before. Wind varies so the utilities leave fossil fuel plants run to compensate for this variance. Net result is zero reduction at the generation point(s) and an net overall increase in CO2 and pollution die to manufacture and maintenance. When the public realizes this is a boondoggle, they will disappear.


What kind of fossil fuel do wind turbines need to produce electricity?

You obviously don't understand what fossil fuels are-coal, oil, natural gas. Wind turbines don't need any of these to produce electricity


Does wind power contribute to any pollution or does it help?
