wind turbineswind turbines
Pros and consPros and cons
4. PLUSES:
wind turbines don't emit harmful gases
like carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide or
nitrogen oxide, they are really ecological
and environmentally friendly,
protect ecosystems,
don’t pollution and degradation of soil
like energy plants,
wind turbins are safe for our health,
wind turbines ,,make’’ a lot of energy.
5. MINUSES:
wind turbines are really loud,
have a bad effect on animals from
nearby farms,
the energy, which make wind urbines,
is expensive,
they are threat to birds and bats.
7. Wind installation weights about 365t.
The largest producer of wind energy is
China.
The total power of all wind
turbines in the world is 282
gigawatts.
8. The largest wind farm is in Denmark.
There are 80 wind turbines. They ,,make’’
energy for 180 thousands farms.
In 2012, the roughly 140 million
megawatt-hours generated by wind
energy avoided 79.9 million metric tons of
carbon dioxide (CO2) — the equivalent of
reducing power-sector CO2 emissions by
3.6% or removing 14 million cars from the
roads.
9. Wind turbine costs about 300.000 euro.
Most wind turbines (95%) are installed
on private land.
New investment in wind energy
projects installed during 2012
amounted to $25 billion.
At times, wind power produces as much
as 45% of the electricity in Spain.
10. By 2030, U.S. wind power will save
nearly 30 trillion bottles of water.
A single wind turbine can power 500
homes.
Wind power is currently the fastest-
growing source of electricity production
in the world.
11. Modern wind turbines produce 15
times more electricity than the typical
turbine did in 1990.
Unlike nearly every other form of
energy, wind power uses virtually no
water.
