FAQs about Wind Power

9. What are the advantages and disadvantages of wind energy?

Advantages: it is an inexhaustible, clean and efficient energy. It is going in the right direction in the fight against climate change. Contributes to sustainable development. It is one of the cheapest sources. It generates five times more jobs than the oil industry and many indirect jobs.
