Advantages of Wind Energy

Wind energy has many advantages which make it a source of attractive energy both large-scale and small applications. The beneficial characteristics of wind energy include: * Clean and inexhaustible energy: wind power produces no emissions and not deplete over time. A single wind turbine of a megawatt (1 MW) that works for a year can replace the issuance of more than 1,500 tons of carbon dioxide, 6.5 tons of sulfur dioxide, 3.2 tons of nitrogen oxides, and 60 pounds of mercury. * Local economic development: wind plants can provide a steady stream of income to landowners who leased their fields for the exploitation of the wind, and an increase in the collection by territorial tax for local communities. * Modular and scalable technology: wind applications can take many forms, including large farms of wind, distributed generation, and systems for final use. Applications can use wind resources strategically to help reduce the risks by the increase in loading or consumption and costs caused by cuts. * The cost of the energy stability: the use of wind energy through the diversification of energy sources, reduces dependence on conventional fuels are subject to changes in price and volatility in its availability. * Reduction in dependence on imported fuels: wind power is not affected to the purchase of imported fuels, keeping funds within the country, and decreasing dependence on foreign Governments to provide these fuels.
