Wind energy doesn t pollute the air like power plants that rely on combustion of fossil fuels such as coal or natural gas which emit particulate matter nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide causing human health problems and economic damages. However the harnessing and utilization of energy is associated with worrying problems namely depletion and environmental damage in this lesson we examine. However as the wind and solar capacity increases the incentive for a private company to invest in such assets declines to the point where the operator of the electric system must provide a subsidy to the construction of gas plants capable of providing electricity on very short notice.

Mit the fact is birds do fly into the path of the blades and die a grisly death. Problems with wind energy crowdfunding renewable energy to replace fossil fuel lack of wind proximity to populated areas. First wind flows and sunlight are intermittent. Disposing of the turbines while wind energy is marketed as the future s green energy solution turbines last only about 20 years and disposing of their behemoth.

Wind turbines don t produce atmospheric emissions that cause acid rain smog or greenhouse gases. Open cycle peak gas plants are the most common asset used to backstop wind and solar intermittency. Power generation from windmills and solar panels cannot be scheduled in advance because. Wind energy has a waste problem.

Also wind production is down this year compared to last year says simmons. Solar and wind are a very small percent of the power grid despite years of subsidies the first 8 months of 2015 wind and solar combined to produce 2 3 of the energy the u s. High costs are a major problem with wind and solar power. Support crowd energy with 4 clicks.

It s easy to see why wind turbines are at least potentially hazardous for birds. This seems to be one of the major issues with using wind energy and this inefficiency appears to be remaining static at the moment with little to no improvements in this area on the horizon. Massive blades with tips spinning at up to 179 mph 80 meters per second hundreds of feet at least 30 meters in the air are an obvious problem for anything flying near them source. Energy can be made available by harnessing natural energy flows such as moving water solar radiation and wind and mainly by using fuels such as wood coal oil natural gas and uranium.
