    Wind energy is killing our planet. There are positive and negative effects to every innovation. When hearing wind energy, most people think it is a cleaner, better alternative over burning fossil fuels. However, wind energy possesses its own unique set of faults. Wind turbines are as unpredictable as the changing winds. Yes, while they do produce power for direct use, they have no guarantee to ensure that the wind will turn the massive turbines during the electrical use hours. When high winds…

    Costs of Wind Energy in America Mr. Sindt, 6-7 B, Mrs. Crom, 1-2 A Rebecca May "The same winds blow on us all; the winds of disaster, opportunity, and change. Therefore, it is not the blowing of the wind, but the setting of our sails that determine our direction in life. (Rohn, 2016)" In terms of climate change, America needs to set its sail. As a global power, it is essential that America reduces its fossil fuel use. Why? Not only is America one of the world's highest polluters, but as a…

    Introduction: Since the industrial revolution coal and oil have ruled the energy world. Oil was abundant, so it was an obvious choice to create machines that ran on oil. Coal and oil became the new standard and these energy sources were the most industrialized countries such as China, The United States and Germany. In the beginning no one realized the possible downfalls of the oil industry, such as the scarcity as demand increased, or the extremely high release of CO2 emissions. Due to these…

    ride in oil fueled bus? There was a time when one could have thrown the idea of renewable energy to waste basket saying it is not enough but now is the time to hold the idea and say “enough is enough”. With the flow of time, people accepted the idea of having lighter electronics and powerful motor engines, so why not solar-wind hybrid system which has likes of both. But before going for any renewable energy system we have to hate the current power generation system, so that we do not switch back…

    disadvantages of wind energy production? Introduction: Wind energy is one of the major renewable energy sources. It is produced through blowing wind. The wind turns the blades of a wind turbine which are connected to a generator, then the generator converts that energy into electricity which then used to power our homes (Origin Energy Limited, 2015).Currently it has being used in Australia to fight the issue of global warming, which is being caused by non-renewable energies. Wind energy…

    Wind Energy-The Power of the FUTURE How does wind energy work? When the sun warms the land on the Earth, the atmosphere heats also. Warm air rises and cool air sinks, therefore, when the warm air rises, the cool air from the sea replaces it. This movement of air is what makes the wind blow. When the wind blows against the wind turbines, this spins the blades. These blades capture some of the kinetic energy from the wind. The generator takes the kinetic energy from the spinning blades and turns…

    Wind energy should be used instead of fossil fuels. The demand for wind energy is increasing so the number of wind turbines needs to increase to keep up with the global demand. Wind energy costs are lower than the cost of fossil fuels. There are several reasons to choose wind energy over fossil fuels. There are many types of renewable energy sources, but wind energy is the energy resource of the future. The demand for wind energy is increasing, so this means that the number of wind turbines…

    Wind Energy Matt Little 12-3-14 For my final paper of the semester I’ve decided to go with option number 1 on the assignment choice. As for my renewable energy method of choice I’m going to go with wind energy. Wind energy is by far my favorite source that we’ve discussed this semester. Bio-energy would be a close second but I don’t consider that to be as sustainable as wind energy. My paper will flow in the same direction as the instructions for the paper. I’ll start with how it can…
