What are the main disadvantages of a wind turbine?

Answer 1

The cost of the turbine and where you will put it. But, all the rest is pretty much good. :)

Answer

Wind turbines are one of the most expensive forms of energy generation, made affordable only because of enormous subsidies which are then passed on to consumers as elevated energy bills. They only produce a fraction of their rated capacity for most of the time. Their energy output is completely unpredictable. And, in the case of the UK, none is made in the UK, so taxpayers money is used to employ foreign workers to manufacture them and to increase the profits of foreign companies.

Answer 2

Some main disadvantages of wind turbines include their intermittent power generation due to reliance on wind speed, potential negative impacts on wildlife and visual aesthetics, as well as the initial high cost of installation and maintenance. Additionally, wind turbines may create noise and vibration disturbances for nearby residents.
