Are wind power and wind energy the same?

Yes, wind power and wind energy are often used interchangeably to refer to the electricity generated from harnessing the power of wind. Wind power is a renewable energy source that comes from converting wind into electricity through wind turbines.


What things can you make out of wind power?

Wind power can generate electricity through wind turbines. It can be utilized to power homes, businesses, and even entire cities. Wind power can also be used to pump water in remote locations or generate energy for offshore operations.


What are the good and bad about wind power?

Wind power like any power has no good or bad. It is what it is. It is an engineering problem to interface wind power to the demand for power. Pollution controls are not needed as part of the interface but load smoothing is part of the interface. noise abatement might be part of the interface, transmission to consumption centers may be part of the interface. Good and Bad arenot the issue, interfaces are.


Why is wind power bad?

There are several factors that make wind power bad. First of all, the initial cost of setting up is so high and winds may be unpredictable which makes this form of power unreliable among other factors.


What is bad about wind power energy?

Wind powered energy is bad because renewable resources need to be found and used.Or you can say:One collapses all collapses.Info: Wind farms are super important these days!!!A bad thing about wind power is you have to build a lot of windmills to gain enough power to make it worthwhile. This means that "wind farms" can cover large areas of land, however, this can also be used for agricultural purposes at the same time.The other problem with wind power is its unreliability. Sometimes wind don't blow, other times its blowing too strongly for the turbines to be allowed to run - they'd either overheat the generator's bearings or become structurally unsound because of physical imbalances in the blades.

What does an ill wind mean?

The quotation is "it is an ill wind that blows nobody any good." This is from Shakespeare. An "ill" wind would be a bad or unpleasant wind - but the quote means that even a bad wind can result in good things in the end.


Should we switch to wind power?

This is a value/opinion question which cannot be answered here. You'll have to decide for yourself. (That said, "switching" to wind power is an exceedingly bad idea: what happens when there's no wind? Using wind power to supplement existing power sources when there IS wind is a different matter.)

What is wind power replacing?

one of the things wind power is replacing water driven hydroturbines that generate electricity. Ultimately, if the proper power converters are produced, wind power can eliminate our need for petroleum based power plants.

What is the difference between wind mills wind generators or wind turbines?

The true difference is use. A wind mill is traditionally used on a farm to power the house where as a wind generator/ turbine is used for electricity on a much higher amount. All of these things are using the power of wind to create electricity/ power for something.
