Wind power offers a sustainable option in the pursuit of renewable energy. Wind is the movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. In fact, wind exists because the sun unevenly heats the surface of the Earth.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Wind energy is a step towards a more sustainable energy model. Wind energy is one of the most common forms of renewable energy.
The Wind Fluctuates Wind energy has a similar drawback to solar energy in that it is not constant. Although the wind is sustainable and will never run out, wind speed does change. This can cause serious problems for the efficiency of a wind turbine.
Effects of wind energy
The land use impact of wind power facilities varies substantially depending on the site: wind turbines placed in flat areas typically use more land than those located in hilly areas.
