Due to current technological, economic and political issues. From a technology standpoint, wind is still not a truly value source of power. The newer systems are much better, but as far as real power they are not yet a workable solution. A typical wind turbine produces about 8% of the stated "rated" power. Variances I. Wind speed make this value unstable enough that fossil fuel plants run, on standby to support these systems. That means no real fuel savings or reduction in CO2. The hope is that someday this power source will be able to produce more power than they consume.

Is wind a source of energy?
Yes, wind is a source of energy.
What is the source of energy that causes wind to blow?
The energy to create wind comes from solar energy.
Is a windmill a type of wind energy?
No, it is a device to convert the energy in the wind into useable energy for humans. Wind is the energy source.
What is the original source of energy for both coal and wind?
the original source of energy for both coal and wind is the sun.
Is the wind a predictable energy source?
No, it is a very unreliable and inefficient energy source.
One problem with wind energy as a major source of electricity is?
The problem with wind energy is that it does not produce much electricity. Wind does not flow at all places. So having wind energy as a major source of electricity is not a option.
Is wind a source of energy?
Yes, wind is a source of energy.
What limits the use of wind as a major source of energy?
Turbines and generators in the wind machines create electricity.
What is China's major source of clean energy?
Hydroelectric power is by far the largest source (19.1%) of clean energy in China in 2018. It is planned that wind will surpass hydro as the major clean power source before the end of the year 2020.
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
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.
Does a wind turbine use a renewable source of energy?
yes because wind is a renewable source of energy
How the sun is the major source of energy that powers surface currents?
The sun is major source of energy that power surface currents because the sun causes wind to blow and winds cause surface currents to form
Where the wind energy source is found and how it is recovered?
Wind energy is recovered by changing wind energy to electricity
