A wind turbine takes up about 120 square meters including the base and the access road (on average). This is about 10% of a hectare or 25% of an acre. A wind farm of multiple wind turbines takes up about 0.01% of the land it's on. The rest of the land is available for pretty much up all of the uses it had before wind turbines were erected including growing crops, hunting grouse, hiking, snowmobiling or just sitting there.
As a wind turbine generates $5000 to $8000 per year, and most acres have lower revenue than this, it's a great revenue stream for farmers aka multi-revenue stream, small-business owners. And the other 75% of the acre can be used to grow crops.

How did the steel industry impact American architecture in the late 1800s?
Thanks to steel, we were able to create skyscrapers(buildings with multiple layers that take up less space) and yes, the very much treasured device, the elevator.
How do wind turbines fix global warming?
They generate electrical energy without also generating carbon dioxide, like other power plants. The amount of energy they generate is very small compared to other power plants, though, so they do not have much effect.
When did the US make the first space shuttle?
The first space shuttle test flights began in 1981, with the first operational flights beginning in 1982.
Why don't astronauts walk very much in the space station?
There is no net gravity to keep their feet on the ground. In fact the gravity is cancelled out by the centrifugal force of the circular orbit,
Do astronauts use salt and pepper in space?
they might be able to. that is not a very great question unless you are going into space
Are nuclear power stations more efficient than wing turbines?
They are a lot more energy-producing; they produced millions of watts of power in a short time, whereas wind* turbines make comparatively nothing. The problem with nuclear power is the waste. Nuclear waste takes millions of years to decay, and is very dangerous, so must be stored in bug barrels underground. This is fine until we run out fo space for them. Wind turbines on the other hand; once they are up and running they take up no more space.
How much space does it take to store 800contacts on one's phone?
In order to store 800contacts it would fill one spot in a phone. Contacts do not take up very much space in any phone as that is integrated when manufactured.
What are the benefits of having wind turbines at home?
Wind Turbines are very convenient and they are very recommended. Wind turbines can dramatically decrease your use of electricity and thus decrease your electric bill.
What are the benefits of under counter appliances?
There are many benefits of under the counter appliances such as less space occupied by the appliances and it is very convienient and doesn't take up too much space.
Does temperature change during a nuclear reaction?
Yes. Very much. That is how we get useful heat to make steam, to turn turbines, to make electricity.
Do bacteria occupy space?
Yes. While they are very small, bacteria take up space.
If you were in outer space and threw a ball how much force would be required to keep it moving through the vacuum of space?
ZeroThis is a very important principle, which the questioner should take time to think about.
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
What is space's atmosphere?
The atmosphere in space is very blured. It is dark. And silent. There is not one bit of gravity. This is why astronaughts take special equipment with them to space, as having no gravity can be very dangerous.
How much money does it take to maintain a hydroelectric dam?
answ2. Hydroelectric dams are temporary features. They will eventually fill up with gravel and silt from the river. This is very expensive to remove.Otherwise the maintenance is things like removal of debris that may damage the turbines. The actual maintenance of turbines and generators is small - occasionally bearings need replacement and so on. Pretty minimal overall.Hydroelectricicity is expensive to install, but the annual running costs are very small.
How much memory does Google Chrome take?
Chrome generally takes few hundreds of MB's of Disk space. It is very minimal considering the features it can provide.
Can wind turbines help control sandstorms in Saudi Arabia?
Wind turbines can barely help control sandstorms in Saudi Arabia. The sandstorms are usually very powerful and using the wind turbines may prove to be futile.
