What is a disadvantage of using wind turbines rather than burning fossil fuels?
Wind power is unreliable. Fossil fuels can be used in greater quantities when in higher demand; we don't get to pick when the wind is effective. You can only put wind turbines where there is a stable amount of wind constantly. For example, a place shielded from winds would not make much power at all, causing in a power deficit.
Are wind power and wind energy the same?
Yes, wind power and wind energy are the same things.
Bad things about wind power?
Wind power depends on using wind to make electricity.
What does wind power plant mean?
A power station that produces electricity by wind power
In what ways is wind power useful?
Wind power is just that power--- so in all ways that power is useful wind power is useful ... to add to that comment... it is a cleaner way of creating power.
Are small wind turbines an effective source of wind power?
Small wind turbines are an effective source of wind power, but a single turbine will generate power only when the wind hits it at a specific angle and strength. This is why multiple wind turbines are often used at a single site, to pick up different gusts of wind.
What are the requirements for a wind turbine to be effective?
Wind.
How long do windmills last?
Wind mills there self last about 10 years but wind itself lasts forever. That is why windmills are the most effective power source we have on earth.
What is a wind generator and where do people typically place them?
Wind generators harvest the power provided by the wind. You can place them in effective places such as on a hill or in a very windy area. They can save you a lot of money on your energy bill.

Are wind generators really cost effective?
Yes, the turbines are devices the convert kinetic energy in wind and transforming it into the mechanical energy of a rotating shaft. This is converted into energy. So using wind for our energy is very cost effective. Typically, wind generators will lower your electric bill by at least 50%. In some cases, if your turbine produces power exceeding your household usage, your electric company may purchase the additional power from you.
Why are people turning to wind turbines?
People are turning to Wind Turbines these day because they are finding that they are economically safer and that their cattle are ignoring the power stations.People are turning to wind turbines because it helps in the generation of power which is cost-effective and helps to cut energy bills. A wind turbine can also be setup in an area near you...Hence people are turning to wind turbines.
Can people decrease dependence on fossil fuels?
Wind power, Wind Power, WIND POWER!
Where is wind power?
wind power comes from the wind but the wind is not all also you don't need the wind all the time.
What facts does anyone know about wind power?
the wind turns the wind mill generating wind power
Are wind power and wind energy the same?
Yes, wind power and wind energy are the same things.
How do you get effective power?
We can get effective power through proper planning and with effective management.
