There Aren't many disadvantages only the cement used for the base and the cost for building and transporting it.
AnswerThere are very few advantages. Wind turbines are one of the most expensive forms of energy generation, made affordable only because of enormous subsidies which are then passed on to consumers as elevated energy bills. They only produce a fraction of their rated capacity for most of the time. Their energy output is completely unpredictable. In the case of the UK, none is made in the UK, so taxpayers money is used to employ foreign workers to manufacture them and to increase the profits of foreign companies.
On the other hand, if you are a landowner (paid to have them on their land), or a wind turbine manufacturer, or a wind turbine worker, then wind turbines are wonderful!

Who invented the first wind turbine?
The inventor of the wind turbine was Charles F. Brush in 1888.
What is a wind turnbind?
A wind turbine is a form of electric generation. On top of a tall pole there is a turbine (fan thing) and the wind spins it around. The turbine is connected to a motor which generates an electromagnetic flow from the motion.
What does a wind turbine do?
A wind turbines uses the wind to power an electricity generator.
How can a 5mph wind turn a wind turbine?
With a new kind of wind turbine called a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) that can produce electricity in winds as low as 5 mph.
How do you make a wind energy project?
Buy a wind turbine or a windmill.
What are the disadvantages of using wind turbine to generate electricity?
Lack of wind is the main disadvantage.
What does a wind turbine make?
A wind turbine makes wind for scientific study.
What are the advantages of savonius wind turbine?
The Savonius turbine is of simple geometry and its construction is cheap. It starts rotating a llower wind speeds as compared to its counterpart wind turbines, having a high starting torque. It produces low noise and can make use of the wind flowing in any horizontal direction to its rotation. However, in spite of these advantages, this wind turbine faces one main disadvantage of having low efficiency.
What does wind turbine help?
a wind turbine generates electricity for or use
What does Wind Turbine mean?
A wind turbine is like a giant fan that produces energy from the wind
What makes a wind turbine move?
Wind makes the turbine move and the wind makes elctrecity.
How is wind created in a wind turbine?
wind is not created by the turbine but wind that passes through the turbine causes it to turn, and the faster the turbine spins the more energy is created that can be turned into electricity and other resources. Hope This Helps :)
How a wind power system produce electricity?
The wind turns a wind turbine. The turbine turns a generator.
What is another name for a wind tower?
Another name for a windmill is the wind turbine
How can you generate power using a mini wind turbine?
To generate power using the mini wind turbine you will have to install a small wind turbine and connect it to the grid.
What does a wind turbine look like?
a wind turbine looks like a giant fan
How is a wind turbine a example of mechanical energy?
This is so because when a wind turbine turns or spins it exerts wind
