Wind Power as an Alternative Energy Source

Wind energy as an alternative energy graph does not include abstract The main source of energy in the United States is the present fossil fuel. However, we know that the supply of fossil fuels continues to be consumed, sooner or later that the US will need to rely on new energy sources. This report hopes to use the model area to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of wind power. These areas have experience of wind power generation and help to judge whether it is an appropriate energy source when the fossil fuel is completely exhausted.

Wind energy is a viable alternative to the global transformation of fossil fuels necessary to limit the most devastating impact of human-induced climate change. Production costs are much lower than nuclear power and coal, and power generation scarcely pollutes the environment, which seemingly is an ideal renewable energy source (1). This is not that wind power does not have an environmental impact; according to one estimate birds clash with the wind turbine and its associated infrastructure and may cause hundreds of thousands of deaths each year in the United States (2). Wind turbine critics think that this side effect is a clear reason for stopping further installation and finding alternatives. But is the threat of wind turbines to poultry wildlife important?

Wind power generation has a relatively small environmental impact compared to the environmental impact of conventional energy sources. Unlike fossil fuel power sources, wind power does not consume fuel and does not emit air pollution. The energy used to manufacture and transport materials used in the construction of wind farms is the same as the new energy produced by the power plant in a few months. While wind farms may cover a large area of ​​land, many land uses such as agriculture are interchangeable and only a small area of ​​turbine infrastructure and infrastructure is available.
