Wind energy does not help the environment exactly. But using other sources of energy such as burning fossil fuels or using nuclear power can hurt the environment. So wind is less hurtful 6 these other sources energy in many ways because wind energy does not create harmful waste products (CO2 in the case of fossil fuels and radioactive waste were nuclear power). Wind energy has it's own problems however: it has been show that the turbines can kill birds that fly into them, and some people find them ugly to look at. There are no sources of energy that are known that HELP the environment. There are just some that hurt it less than others. The best way to help the environment is to let it be undisturbed!!

What is the environmental cost of using wind turbines?

Wind turbines generate energy using wind power. This does not affect the surrounding environment, therefore their environmental cost would be minimal.


Why is wind energy good for environment?

Energy from wind is less detrimental to the environment than most other electricity generation. Wind turbines need complex and advanced production facilities that pollute. Wind energy is not just good for the environment because there is noise pollution and the placement can affect certain wildlife.


Is wind energy widely accepted?

Wind energy should be widely accepted as it produces energy which doesn't pollute the environment . Artifical resources such as petroleum , diesel destroy the ozone layer of the Earth . Wind energy does not pollute the environment . So wind energy should be accepted and widely launched .


How does wind energy affect wind turbines?

It makes them turn, like a windmill, and this kinetic energy is used to make electrical energy.


How does Tidal Energy affect the environment?

It doesnt have any affects on the environment


Can using wind energy damage the environment?

for erosion of rock.....


Does water turbines affect the environment?

Yes, water turbines effect the environment they turn kinetic energy (the waves energy) into mechanical energy, then to electrical energy so we can turn our lights on and off and use the computer you are using now. There are also wind turbines or windmills that do the same but instead of using waves they harness the energy of the wind. Environmental science will be very helpful in the future and everyone needs to do more to go green!

How is wind energy friendly?

Wind is a friendly energy source because in its normal to moderate state (aka., not hurricane/tornado force), it provides no damage to the environment. It is already a part of the natural environment, and on Earth it is an unlimited resource. ! By Shayy 97( down) lol Basically as above but also it is a renewable energy resource meaning it will never be gone unless the wind drastically disappears! Renewable meaning its not like fossil fuels such as oils! its energy saving as it does not affect our living environment!


Why is wind energy better for the planet?

Wind Energy does not affect the atmosphere. Fossil Fuels create smog and smoke which damages the atmosphere.


How does wind energy affect the economy?

It benefits our economy and makes our energy bills cheape.


Why should you use wind energy?

It does not pollute the air with harmful gasesThere are many reasons to why one must use wind energy. Wind energy is the fastest growing energy sector in the United States . The main purpose of wind energy is the production of electricity. Also, Wind energy does not pollute the environment and is found in plenty.
