Wind Farms

Did you know that we can get renewable energy without make any damage to the Earth?

Well, we can.

"Wind Farms" are a type of energy farms.

Like you can read in their name, they make energy using wind.

Do tyou want to know more about them?

Advantages:

• Wind turbines take up less space than the average power station. Windmills only have to occupy a few square meters for the base, this allows the land around the turbine to be used for many purposes, for example agriculture.
• Wind energy is friendly to the surrounding environment, as no fossil fuels are burnt to generate electricity from wind energy.
• Newer technologies are making the extraction of wind energy much more efficient. The wind is free, and we are able to cash in on this free source of energy.

Disadvantages:

• Wind turbine construction can be very expensive and costly to surrounding wildlife during the build process.
• Wind turbines generally produce allot less electricity than the average fossil fuelled power station, requiring multiple wind turbines to be built in order to make an impact.
• Protests and/or petitions usually confront any proposed wind farm development. People feel the countryside should be left in tact for everyone to enjoy it’s beauty.
