Discuss the advantages and the disadvantages of wind energy

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Advantages to using wind energy are that wind is a widespread resource and does not produce any emissions. The turbines necessary for wind energy production are relatively quick to install. Disadvantages to wind energy are that not every location has the suitable wind speeds for generating energy, that turbines have a potential to kill birds, that erosion can undermine the foundations of the turbines, and that many who live in the region of wind farms cite how they make the landscape appear unattractive.
