What is the cost comparison between wind energy and fossil fuels?

Wind energy is generally becoming more cost-competitive with fossil fuels, as the cost of wind energy has been decreasing over the years while the cost of fossil fuels can fluctuate. In some regions, wind energy is already cheaper than fossil fuels, making it a more attractive option for generating electricity.


What is the comparison between the cost of wind energy and fossil fuels?

Wind energy is generally becoming more cost-competitive with fossil fuels like coal and natural gas. The cost of wind energy has been decreasing over the years, making it a more affordable and sustainable option compared to traditional fossil fuels.


Do Amish use fossil fuels?

Some Amish communities do restrict the use of fossil fuels due to their commitment to living simply and in harmony with nature. They may use alternative energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines to meet their energy needs. However, there are variations in practices among different Amish communities.


Why is wind energy better to use than fossil fuels?

Wind energy is not better than water energy. They are both very similar in that they are: * free (after the initial cost of the turbines) * sustainable (they won't run out) * renewable (they are still there tomorrow even if we use them completely today) If there is no wind, then the wind turbines don't turn to provide electricity. This can happen quite often, unless the turbines are placed where the wind blows non-stop all year round. If there is no water, then the water turbines don't turn. This will happen only rarely if the turbines are placed in the best position. Using ocean waves and tides will be more reliable than rivers which can dry up in droughts.


How much of Ontario energy is generated from fossil fuels?

Approximately 60% of the energy generated in Ontario comes from fossil fuels, predominantly natural gas and nuclear power. Renewables such as hydroelectric, wind, and solar make up the remainder.

How do you make electrical current?

burn fossil fuels or turbines or hydro or wind


Does wind energy use fossil fuels?

No. Wind turbines capture the wind's energy and convert it into electricity.


Does wind energy use traditional fossil fuels?

No, wind energy does not rely on traditional fossil fuels to generate electricity. Wind turbines harness the power of the wind to produce renewable energy without the need for fossil fuels. This makes wind energy a clean and sustainable alternative to traditional sources of power.


What kind of fossil fuel do wind turbines need to produce electricity?

You obviously don't understand what fossil fuels are-coal, oil, natural gas. Wind turbines don't need any of these to produce electricity


What is a disadvantage of using wind turbines rather than burning fossil fuels?

Wind power is unreliable. Fossil fuels can be used in greater quantities when in higher demand; we don't get to pick when the wind is effective. You can only put wind turbines where there is a stable amount of wind constantly. For example, a place shielded from winds would not make much power at all, causing in a power deficit.


What is the point in wind turbines?

Wind turbines are used to convert wind energy into electricity. As the blades spin, they turn a generator which produces electricity. This renewable energy source helps reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate climate change.


Can wind power compete with fossil fuels?

Once fossil fuels is lowering more, than yes because people would soon want to find a new ways of energy source and wind power is efficient depending on where the wind turbines are placed at


How will wind turbines help your environment in the future?

it will mean that there will be more fossil fuels to burn in the future and then the normal electricity to use x


What part of science does wind turbines belong to?

Physics mainly although you could relate it to chemistry as an alternative energy to fossil fuels


Is wind a fossil fuel?

no, fossil fuels are very old chemical substances that we burn for energy, like natural gas, oil and coal. we get wind power out of the movement of air by using mechanical methods like wind turbines


Are all the fuels fossil fuels?

No Solar and wind power are both not fossil fuels.


Can your renewable resource wind replace fossil fuels?

No the wind cannot be replaced by fossil fuels as it is non-renewable.
