No air or water pollution as from burning fossil fuel. No chance of running out of wind. No territorial disputes over ownership of wind. No interruptions due to striking miners or civil war.

How does wind make electricity?
Turbines actually make the electricity wind, water, and other recources do the work of turning the generators to produce the electricity.
How much does it cost to convert wind into electricity?
It depends on the technology. Current wind turbines placed in windy areas can produce electricity at 3-5 cents/kwh. Newer technologies like high altitude turbines or vertical low velocity turbines claim they can produce for 2 cents/kwh or less.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of producing electricity by photoelectric cells?
The advantage is that it is cheap to produce electricity with the sun. The disadvantage is the "CLOUDS, or no sun. No sun, no electricity.
What are some examples of tidal energy being used?
tidal energy is used to turn turbines which drive generators to produce electricity
Why do appliances produce carbon dioxide?
Appliances don't exactly produce carbon dioxide (CO2), but they are responsible for CO2 emissions. Appliances run on electricity, and most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This burning emits CO2, a greenhouse gas that is causing global warming.
What is an advantage to using a wind turbines to produce electricity?
unlimited energy, safe, no effort.
How is electricity generate by water?
its actuallly simple, the water turns turbines and the turbines produce electricity.
When generators are spun by turbines they?
produce energy
When generators are spun by turbines they produce?
Produce nuclear energy
How does a wind turbines produce electricity for the community?
by wind
What exactly is nuclear energy?
Certain elements such as Uranium 235 and Plutonium 239 give off neutrons. When a neutron hits them, they split into two or more elements and give off more neutrons. They also give off a lot of heat. That heat can be used to boil water. The steam produced can be used to spin turbines. The turbines can spin generators and produce electricity. Burning coal, oil, or gas, can be used to produce the heat to boil water to produce the steam to spin the turbines to spin the generators to produce the electricity. The advantage of nuclear energy is that it does not produce a waste material that is released into the atmosphere.
How are geothermal and hydroelectric energy similar?
they both use turbines to produce electricity
How do wind turbines affect people?
Wind turbines produce electricity for businesses that hire people.
What is one advantage of using wind turbines rather than burning fossil fuel to produce electricity?
One advantage is that we get energy to support our lifestyle without having to dump carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is bad for the environment, you only have to look at the planet Venus with a 95% carbon dioxide atmosphere and global warming with surface temperatures of 400-500 degrees C.
What is the best way to produce energy?
wind turbines are the best way to produce electricity
How do wind turbines affect people's jobs?
Wind turbines produce electricity for businesses that hire people.
How do coal power stations and wind farms generate electricity?
Coal power stations burn coal to heat water to produce steam, which is then used to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. The burning coal releases carbon dioxide.Wind farms have blades which turn in the wind to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. There are no harmful carbon dioxide emissions.
