Benefits and Challenges of Using Wind Energy

Wind is a form of solar energy, because wind is cased by a combination of sun-heated atmosphere, earth rotation, and irregularities on the earth’s surface. You can use the energy generated by the sun and wind to power the grid indefinitely.
Wind energy is mechanical energy generated by wind or other forms of renewable energy. Using wind energy to generate electricity has benefits, which we will discuss in this article.
Benefits of Wind Energy
Cost-Effective
Wind power is inexpensive. After the production tax credit, the utility-scale…

Everything About Wind Energy and Wind Turbines

So, what should you know about wind energy and wind turbines?
Wind Energy Overview
Wind energy has been in use for many years to power households, pump water from water wells, power sailboats, as well as power cooling and heating appliances in offices and homes.
Today, the ongoing increasing demands for fossil fuel and the rising of the prices of essential resources have all been being invested in the fostering of wind energy.
Of course, wind energy has both perks and drawbacks. For…

Alberta: Canada’s Leading Destination for Solar and Wind Power Investment

Although Alberta is renowned as Canada’s capital for its petroleum industry, the province has also become the country’s key destination for the development of the solar and wind energy industry.
Towards the end part of the year 2019 and throughout 2020, the developers of solar and wind energy have announced a sustained flow of new projects.
Apart from the big-scale renewable projects in Alberta for the past year, the developers in the province have also announced the contract with an off-taker that agreed to make a purchase of carbon credits and an electricity bundle.

The Negative Impacts of Wind Turbines

While it is one of the best ways to generate electricity since it’s a clean and renewable energy source and can cut down greenhouse gas emissions simultaneously, it also comes with a few setbacks, just like its other energy-generation technology counterparts.
Understanding these drawbacks is essential if we want to optimize wind energy’s use. With that said, below is a rundown of the possible disadvantages associated with wind turbines.
1. Noise Pollution
Low …
