Are wind farms a reliable source of energy?

No. Wind farms are very unreliable as a constant source of energy. They are also expensive to build and maintain.


Why is wind an energy source with limited use?

Well it is a good renewable source of energy BUT the strength of the wind varies over time and the source is therefore not constantly reliable.


Is tidal energy an renewable energy source?

Yes, it sure is. And far more reliable than wind!


Is wind a source of energy?

Yes, wind is a source of energy.


How reliable is wind turbines?

wind turbines are very reliable in production of wind energy which in turn helps in the production of electrical energy


Is wind a reneweble energy source or non reneweble energy source?

Wind energy is a renewable resource, as there will always be wind.


Is wind energy a non-renewable source?

No, wind is a renewable energy source. The wind will always be blowing!


What source of energy does wind energy use?

Wind


Are fossil fuels the most efficient energy source available?

No. Nuclear energy is the most efficient in producing steam for use in engines. 15-20% of the energy in fossil fuels is lost up chimneys into the atmosphere, and is unusable. Solar and Wind energy farms cannot harness or convert effectively all the energy in the sunlight or wind and have much lower actual efficiencies. Fossil fuels presently are the cheapest and most reliable energy source available. Solar and wind energy are less reliable.


What energy source does a wind turbine use?

Wind energy.


What is the source of energy that causes wind to blow?

The energy to create wind comes from solar energy.


What can humans do to save wind energy?

Wind energy is a form of renewable energy source. That means that it's a kind of energy that is 'produced' using natural methods (wind, solar, ocean waves) and can be renewed as more of that source is available. So, the more wind you can capture using, say, a wind turbine, the more energy you will have collected. Wind energy has a downside as a cause of noise and visual pollution since wind farms need specific sites to run. They are not completely reliable either, since they depend on the inconsistent nature of wind generated at any time.
