Benefits of Using WIND POWER

WIND TURBINES

is it a CURSE???

Or a GIFT ???

In this day and age, the world needs to look at the different

natural energy sources available to

us.

With all the talk of Carbon Footprints,

Global Warming & Green Living

People are thinking more and more about ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

options.

One of those options is

WIND POWER

Many of us know that it is possible to

harness the wind’s energy for the production of

electricity

BUT… Only few actually

realize just how many benefits can be

gained from using this method.

Benefits of Using

WIND POWER

Here are some …

Wind energy is

ECONOMICALLYCOMPETITIVE

# 1

With today’s rising coal and gas prices,

WIND PLANTS compete favorably

against any electricity

generation source.

And because WIND ENERGY’s “fuel”

is FREE

It reduces the risk associated with

volatile fossil fuel prices.

Wind Energy is a valuable CROP of

the FUTURE

# 2

Wind Energy can provide new sources

of income in rural areas,

As well as jobs for people who set up and maintain wind turbines or manage

wind farms.

Wind turbines are compatible with rural land uses.

Since Wind Turbines can only occupy small plot

of land,

The area below can still be used for agricultural

purposes.

Wind Turbines don’t consume water

unlike most other electricity

generation sources do

# 3

Conventional plants generating power from fossil and nuclear fuels

uselarge amounts of water for cooling

WIND TURBINESDo not use

water.

That make WINDTURBI

NES

A GREAT CHOICE for Drought – Stricken Regions

WIND ENERGY is Inexhaustible &

Infinitely Renewable

# 4

Unlike conventional fossil fuels,

WIND ENERGYis

RENEWABLE

An ABUNDANT ENERGY that will

be available for future generations

WIND ENERGY is the CLEANEST

SOURCE OF ENERGY

# 5

Is inherently one of the cleanest sources of

power available.

WIND POWER …

This is the kind of energy that produces no emissions,

Which means it doesn’t contribute

to …

Acid Rain and Snow

And …

Some Other Related Health

Effects

WIND ENERGY can be used in a variety

of applications

# 6

Small Wind Turbines,

alone or as part of a hybrid system,

can generate electricity to

The Benefits of Using

WIND POWER

Because of those reasons listed above

Wind Energy still has

overwhelming support of the

public
