Created with Fabric.js 1.4.5 Wind Turbines Drew O'BrienB-5 Wind is a renewable energy resource: A resource that is replenished at a rate that is sustainable is a renewable energy source. What is a wind turbine and how do they work? Wind energy works in a way that the motion of energy of the wind spins the blades of the turbine. The turbine is connected to a generator, which generates electricity. The uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun, the irregularities of the Earth's surface, and rotation of Earth cause winds. Do wind turbines have the ability to provide energy without getting depleted? Wind is a sustainable energy that meet'sour today's demand of energy withoutputting them in danger of getting expiredor depleted and can be used over and over. Wind is available naturally and can be tappedto produce vast amounts of power that can be used in many ways and places. For instance,sailors tap this energy to help the ship propel through its various directions to distant shores for trading.There are many companies that have invested heavilyon power grids and windmills to tap into this energy source.In the near future, sustainable energy like wind powerwill be a big industry and the fossil fuels exploration will have halted and no longer be used. A pro to wind turbinesis that they don't produce any carbon dioxide! A con to windturbines is that wind energy is limited to high-wind areas. Environmental impacts of wind turbines: Although wind turbines can be very tall each takes uponly a small plot of land. This means that the land below can still be used.This is especially the case in agricultural areas as farming can still continue.Once the wind turbine is built the energy it produces doesnot cause green house gases or pollutants. When wind turbines are being manufactured some pollution isproduced. Therefore wind power does produce some pollution. Wind turbine construction can be very expensive and costly to surrounding wild life duringthe process. Efficiency of wind turbines: There will always be a constant supply of wind energy. Wind turbines effectiveness depends on the location of where they were placed. Ideally, wind turbinesshould be placed where there is a constant flow of wind.
