Wind turbines do not use oil in the same way that conventional power plants do. However, they may require small amounts of lubricating oil for their gearboxes and hydraulic systems, which is minimal compared to fossil fuel power generation. The oil consumption is quite low, typically measured in liters per turbine per year, rather than per day, making wind energy a much cleaner alternative with negligible oil usage. Overall, the operational oil use is minor compared to the vast amounts used in oil-based energy production.
What else can I help you with?
Which one of these is a renewable energy wind turbines coal oil or gas?
Wind turbines.
What are the advantages of generating electricity by wind turbines compared with generating it at an oil-fired power station?
wind turbines have blades like the propellors on the first aeroplanes wind turbines with blades convert 20-30% of wind energy into electricity but this new turbine can convert 70%.
How much oil is saved by wind power in USA?
Wind power does not replace oil in most applications. Fuel plants supplement wind turbines in place of the older coal fired plants. Some minor amount of coal is saved through the use of wind though.
What power resources do the US and Canada have?
Crude oil, natural gas, Wind turbines and water powered turbines, coal and coal oil power plants, solar energy etc.
What Are The Uses Of Wind Power?
Wind power propels sail boats, and powers wind turbines. It is not as widely used as coal, natural gas or oil.
What types of energy does the UK use?
natural gases, nuclear generators, cogeneration, wind turbines, coal and oil. And their are lots of renewables(e.g. wind turbines, solar panels...) possible more overall
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
Why are wind turbines beneficial against using oil based electric plants?
Wind turbines are all natural and very energy efficient. While oil based electric plants have been considered to contribute to global warming problems in its production. Oil based electric plants also release extra carbon dioxide into the air.
What energy do you get from the ocean?
Oil from underneath the ocean floor. Wave energy from waves. Wind turbines located off shore.
Is all electricity made in the same way?
No, it can be made by rotating machines or by solar panels. Rotating machines can be driven by engines or by the wind. Engines can be water turbines (hydroelectric), steam turbines (coal/oil), gas turbines or petrol or diesel.
Why are wind turbines in the world?
Wind Turbines are an efficient way of creating electricity with zero air pollution. Currently, England powers 13 percent of their country by wind turbines. Wind turbines and Solar panels are important in two ways. They are free and they cause no pollution. Of course there's the cost of your panels and turbines although the amount of electricity it will produce over its lifetime will greatly outweigh its cost in currency. The U.S. still imports the majority of its oil to fuel our nation, which is costly and messy. The prevailing winds that travel across the great plains, in addition with several hundred or thousand offshore wind farms, along with solar fields in the southwest. We could ultimately fuel our entire country off the wind and sun. This obviously would be costly and an extremely long term project, although over time, whether we like it or not, oil will run dry. GO WIND TURBINES!!
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
