Wind Energy Advantages

As far as we think about future we need to consider energy crisis that we are going to face when we’ll run out of fossil fuels. Knowing it’s about to come we need to think it over which energy sources is best to use as our main one in years to come. Currently we use few alternatives like solar panels, water turbines, biomass and windmills farms. In the next few hundred years one of these is probably going to become our main energy source. It’s good idea to have a look at advantages and drawbacks of all of them. In this article I’ll just describe advantages of windmills that we may currently experience.

First thing is that with this technology we use renewable energy source. We will never run out of wind as long as there is atmosphere in the Earth. This is huge advantage in comparison with coal or gas. This brings a sort of safety that if we’ll move into wind energy next energy crisis may never come again. Wind is just not going to stop blowing. We will be able to use it for next millions of years.

This is also one of the cheapest power sources we know. The price of kilowatt-hour oscillates around four-six pennies. This may bring huge savings both on a large scale (where huge wind farms supply whole cities) and on a mini-scale, as wind energy generator home systems help to cut energy bills.

Thirdly this energy is eco-friendly. As windmills doesn’t emit any toxic smoke (there is no burning) and doesn’t influence environment in any other harmful way this is a energy source of choice for many people who value Nature and want to live in harmony with it. And number of such people is growing every year. This solution makes impossible any sort of ecological disaster (like that one in Mexican Gulf) to happen. So that energy is not only clean but also safe.

Fourthly space that is used for windmills still can be used for something else, like farming animals or growing plants. Windmill doesn’t take too much room itself, and we still can make a use of all space around it.

These are main advantages of wind energy farms and home systems that we can experience nowadays. As we understand them, we can work to move into using them into larger scale then we do today, so that we’ll not get into trouble when we’ll run out of fossil fuels. Considering growing number of people with access to electricity we can predict energy prices constantly moving up next years. So it’s a good thing to prepare ourselves and invest into alternative power sources now, to avoid paying huge prices for oil in the future.
