Wind is abundant in every country, so wind farms can be installed globally.
Fremont, CA: Wind Power is also the oldest energy source harnessed by humans. As one of the world's fastest-growing and most efficient energy sources, it's important to realize the key advantages of Wind Power to leverage its usage in global climate objectives.
Why is Wind Power still the tomorrow of Green Energy? Here are the reasons:
1. Wind Power is Cost-Effective
Onshore wind power is the most profitable renewable energy source on the planet. Energy generated from onshore wind turbines is two times more affordable than offshore wind and almost as financially cheap as fossil fuels.
Electricity from wind farms is marketed at fixed prices over longer periods, and its "fuel" is free, which implies wind energy offsets the price incertitude that fuel costs add to traditional energy sources.
2. Wind Farms Have Low Operating Costs.
Wind turbines have a high initial cost in terms of installation, but operational costs are relatively low once they are built. There is no related fuel cost; they run off the wind, a natural, freely available resource, and the turbines need little maintenance.
3. Wind Energy Doesn't Employ or Contaminate Water.
Most electricity sources need a water source for operation or cooling intentions, but power production from wind does not. This also causes wind energy to be "drought-proof." Given the deficiency of Water, this is vitally crucial. Furthermore, wind turbines do not discharge emissions that can pollute Water.
4. The wind is a Domestic Source of Energy.
The wind is abundant in every country, so that that wind farms can be installed globally. This translates to a decline in energy imports and tariffs and creates wealth and local employment. This offering to sustainable domestic development makes it a precious energy source.
5. Wind Energy is Space-Efficient.
Wind farms are extensive and can take up plenty of space, but the turbines don't take up vast amounts of real estate. As turbines necessary to be spaced a certain distance apart from each another, the land between them can be utilized for other purposes – unlike, for instance, solar farms.
6. Wind Energy is Sustainable.
Wind energy is also a form of solar energy. The heating of the atmosphere causes winds by the sun, the revolution of the Earth, and unevenness on the Earth's surface. This indicates that for as long as the sun is shining, we will not exhaust wind power, and energy can be generated from it to be sent across the grid.
7. Wind Energy is Clean.
Electricity produced from wind power does not contaminate air or Water. It also generates negligible amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. It also does not eject toxic substances and contaminants that can damage living spaces and people. Toxic substances can cause severe ecological damage, even corrode buildings, and trigger heart and respiratory problems in people.
8. Wind Farms Can Be Constructed on Existing Farms.
As wind farms are so space-saving, engineers can install them on present agricultural land in rural areas. Farmers can then capitalize on the shop or rental of their land. This means there are many opportunities for extension in wind farms, which is a positive prospect from the perspective of the renewable energy industry.
9. Wind Energy Creates Jobs.
The wind energy sector engages over 1.1 million people globally, which is set to increase. The industry has roared since wind turbines became commercially viable, steadily increasing job creation. Jobs are possible for all stages of the wind power process, from manufacturing and establishing turbines to wind energy consultancy.
