What is wind wind energy's weakness?
The problem with wind energy is that it is usually generated via wind turbines. Wind turbines take a lot of energy to make, and unfortunately, it uses more than it will generate in it's lifetime.
What are the dis-advantages of wind energy?
Disadvantages 1)Wind power needs a lot of land. 2)wind power is a hard subtences to get in a town where they do not get that much wind . 3)Towns that do not get this much wind that is needed for the turbines .
What are some drawbacks of the wind energy?
Some drawbacks of wind energy include its intermittent nature, as wind doesn't blow all the time, leading to fluctuating power generation. Wind farms can also impact local wildlife and ecosystems, and there may be aesthetic concerns in terms of landscape alteration. Additionally, wind turbines can produce low-frequency noise and vibrations that some people find bothersome.
What is the bad thing about wind energy?
One downside of wind energy is that it can be intermittent, as wind speeds fluctuate, leading to variations in power output. Additionally, some people find wind turbines to be visually unappealing and there are concerns about their impact on wildlife and local ecosystems.
What are some useful effects of wind?
Wind can generate electricity through wind turbines, help disperse seeds for plant reproduction, and assist in the process of pollination for some plant species. Additionally, wind can help regulate temperature by bringing in cooler or warmer air depending on the season.
What are the factors that determine where a wind farm can be built?
Where a lot of wind and space are, are the main two, as you need space for all the wind turbines and you need a lot of wind to allow power to be generated.
How many wind turbines does Germany have?
a lot

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.
Why are wind farms built in Northern Ireland?
As Ireland is on the west of Europe and the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, it gets a lot of wind, particularly along the west coast, so it is ideal for setting up wind turbines. There are many wind turbines around Ireland, with lots more planned.
Can wind turbines be 20 feet tall?
If you're asking can they be as small as this, then yes, but they won't generate a lot of electricity. Most turbines are 10 or more times this height.
What are the advantage of wind energy?
Disadvantages 1)Wind power needs a lot of land. 2)wind power is a hard subtences to get in a town where they do not get that much wind . 3)Towns that do not get this much wind that is needed for the turbines .
What are some alternatives to gas and electricity for a homeowner that require a minimal upfront investment?
For gas, there are a lot of low-cost options. People have heated their homes with wood stoves and fireplaces (an old tried and true method), steam, or natural gas. For electricity, you can convert your home to run on solar panels and wind turbines, although wind turbines require a lot of space. Solar panels are becoming more prevalent, and have become much more affordable and efficient than in the past.
What are the down falls of solar power?
We (the u.s) don't have a good grid, which is the way electricity is moved to where it needs to go. To make a new grid or fix the old grid it will take lots of money. If we are using wind turbines, then electricity will have to be transported to places where there is not a lot of wind.
What are the dis-advantages of wind energy?
Disadvantages 1)Wind power needs a lot of land. 2)wind power is a hard subtences to get in a town where they do not get that much wind . 3)Towns that do not get this much wind that is needed for the turbines .
Who builds wind turbines?
There are a lot of manufacturers. The biggest in the world is Vestas, based in Denmark.Here are some wind turbine manufacturers in the US:Clipper WindpowerGeneral ElectricNordic WindpowerNorthern Power SystemsPacWindUrban Green Energy
What are some short answers to the disadvantages for wind power?
One disadvantage for wind power is that it takes a lot of money to build an actual wind turbine. You could also talk about the space they take up which could be used for agriculture or housing.
