Yes. Wind Energy once installed creates no Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Dioxide is a pollutant causing global warming, so wind turbines and any renewable energy are a good idea.

Wind Turbines create low cost energy, but it should not be considered free. Their large capital cost means the electricity produced from Wind turbines is much more expensive than other forms of electricity generation like coal and gas.

Also, because of the variability of wind, conventional power plant of equal capacity must be constructed and then operated at less than optimum capacity.

Storage using batteries, flywheels or pumped storage hydroelectricity can address this variability but it only adds to the cost.

Some people think that wind turbines are a bad thing because they make noise. Occasionally, birds fly across the path of the spinning turbine blades and are killed.

Are windmills and wind turbines the same thing?

No, windmills and wind turbines are not the same thing. Windmills typically refer to older, traditional structures that use wind power to grind grain or pump water, while wind turbines are modern machines that convert wind energy into electricity. Wind turbines are larger and more efficient than windmills in generating power.


Why are wind turbines a good thing?

Wind turbines are a good thing because they produce clean and renewable energy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. They help combat climate change and can create jobs in the renewable energy sector. Additionally, wind energy is abundant and can be harnessed in a sustainable way.


What is the most interesting thing about wind turbines?

Apparently Wind Turbines can make Bat's Lungs explode. . . You would need between 500 and 1000 wind turbines to match the energy for a power plant!


Where is a good place for wind turbines?

Where it's windy.


Are wind farms and wind turbines the same thing?

No, wind farms are collections of multiple wind turbines grouped together in a specific area to generate electricity. Wind turbines are the individual structures that capture the wind's energy to convert it into electricity within a wind farm.


What type of devices is used to harness wind energy?

Wind turbines are the devices used to harness wind energy. These turbines have blades that spin and generate electricity when the wind blows. Wind turbines are typically grouped together in wind farms to maximize energy production.


How do you produce energy with wind?

Windmills and wind turbines are good sources to produce energy.


Definition of wind energy?

well when God exhales, from is big and mighty lungs, he produces this thing called "wind" as the Romans once called it, and then that "wind" spins the egyptians turbines, and then the turbines twirl, and create wind engery.
