The Job-Creating Potential of Wind Energy and How Global Warming Affects Our Society Today

The creative possibilities of wind energy and the impact of global warming Today's global warming is an important factor in today's society. This is a good example of energy innovation, but one of the huge wind towers is to supply clean and renewable energy by simple mechanical technology, ie by turning the turbine to a generator and supplying power to hundreds of homes To do. (Michael Kenny, 2009) The wind works. In the past 40 years, wind energy has supplied more and more energy.

Compared to the environmental impact of fossil fuels, wind power generation has a relatively small environmental impact. According to the IPCC, the median of the wind turbine is 12 to 11 (gCO 2 eq / kWh) when evaluating the global warming potential of energy warming, depending on whether the offshore turbine or the land turbine is being evaluated. Wind turbines have a certain minimum global warming potential per unit of electrical energy compared to other low carbon power sources.

Wind can affect power generation. After the energy crisis of the 1970s, wind turbines were seen as a source of electricity. Turbine is considered a clean and efficient power generation method, and wind speed 5 to 45 knots (6 to 52 mph) is required. If the wind is too light, the blade will not rotate and no electricity will be generated. If it is too high, the turbine may be damaged. Today, the wind farm is in many parts of the country, the wind is relatively stable.

As a country, we are constantly looking for ways to combat global warming. As a form of competition to replace renewable energy, wind power generation is still at the top of the list. According to a survey conducted by the National Audubon Association in 2008, the US wind turbine produced approximately 15,000 megawatts of electricity. This amount is enough to supply electricity to about 3 million households, or 20% households nationwide. Unfortunately, wind farms require a lot of land to operate, compared to fossil fuel counterparts. Of course, the wind power plant must also be the place where the wind is blowing. Unfortunately, the necessary place is a migratory route for many of the birds that are in danger of extinction. The Sierra Club called these wind power plants "Cuisinart in the air".
