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. There are mini wind turbines or urban wind turbines to be placed in homes, haciendas and remote places where electrical networks do not reach.

Disadvantages: At times when the wind ceases there is no electricity production, which is resolved with the compensation of electricity between several parks. There are those who think that wind farms ruin the landscape. Rotating the rotor produces noise, so it must be installed far from the population. Birds can be victims of accidents when impacting with wind turbine propellers.

Wind Power, unlimited, clean and efficient

The main objective of the Paris Agreement is to limit the increase in global temperature to no more than 2°C, from its pre-industrial level, by the end of this century. To achieve this key objective, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced until they are completely eradicated. Through the premise “Zero fossil fuels” is intended to replace oil, coal, natural gas and gas oil for renewable and clean energy, such as solar energy, electric cars and wind energy…

Wind Power: clean, renewable and natural

Wind energy is the ability to obtain an effect from wind or air currents and convert it into electrical energy. Wind energy is clean, renewable and natural, so it goes in the direction of the Paris Agreement and the fight against global warming and climate change. Wind energy, solar energy and lithium batteries from electric cars are the main weapons available to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The wind process is carried out by means of a wind turbine…
