Please help! Many people who care about conserving natural resources would choose to use wind energy to power their homes. However, wind power is not an option for people in many parts of the country. Explain what the benefits of wind power are and why it is not available to everyone in the United States. In your answer, be sure to include the following: *Identify the envitormental benefits of using wind energy *Explain what location has to do with wind energy availability * Explain the economic impact of wind energy on an area

can someone plz explain answer

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

@wormynut

OpenStudy (wormynut):

this is what I meant

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

oh lol

OpenStudy (wormynut):

do you need long or short answers?

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

either one is find

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

ill reward and fan

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

hold so i choose either one

OpenStudy (wormynut):

yep

OpenStudy (wormynut):

epends on the amountt of info you need or you could mash them up and make better points

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

i put all that

OpenStudy (wormynut):

yeah or read through them, understand and make them short

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

omm can u make it shorter

THIS IS THE BEST ANSWER-----> Advantages Of Wind Energy 1) Wind Energy is an inexhaustible source of energy and is virtually a limitless resource. 2) Energy is generated without polluting environment. 3) This source of energy has tremendous potential to generate energy on large scale. 4) Like solar energy and hydropower, wind power taps a natural physical resource. 5) Windmill generators don’t emit any emissions that can lead to acid rain or greenhouse effect. 6) Wind Energy can be used directly as mechanical energy. 7) In remote areas, wind turbines can be used as great resource to generate energy. 8) In combination with Solar Energy they can be used to provide reliable as well as steady supply of electricity. 9) Land around wind turbines can be used for other uses, e.g. Farming. Disadvantages Of Wind Energy 1) Wind energy requires expensive storage during peak production time. 2) It is unreliable energy source as winds are uncertain and unpredictable. 3) There is visual and aesthetic impact on region. 4) Requires large open areas for setting up wind farms. 5) Noise pollution problem is usually associated with wind mills. 6) Wind energy can be harnessed only in those areas where wind is strong enough and weather is windy for most parts of the year. 7) Usually places, where wind power set-up is situated, are away from the places where demand of electricity is there. Transmission from such places increases cost of electricity. 8) The average efficiency of wind turbine is very less as compared to fossil fuel power plants. We might require many wind turbines to produce similar impact. 9) It can be a threat to wildlife. Birds do get killed or injured when they fly into turbines. 10) Maintenance cost of wind turbines is high as they have mechanical parts which undergo wear and tear over the time.

easy? these are better...you can choose the number of points :)

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

omm mimm lost

OpenStudy (wormynut):

huh? what? I didn't quite understand by what you meant?

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

omm im lost

OpenStudy (wormynut):

choos the last answer

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

ment alking about number 10

OpenStudy (wormynut):

that's much better...if you need answer for 5 marks, write n=any 5 ppoints from it! or if 1 mark, then a pair of contrasting point!

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

so i choose to 10

OpenStudy (wormynut):

ok no probs

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

what

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

do i choose 10 or nah

OpenStudy (wormynut):

yes

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

which 10

OpenStudy (wormynut):

first 5 of advantages and disadvantages

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

you confusing me

OpenStudy (wormynut):

so are you XD

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

omm which one i choose

OpenStudy (wormynut):

wait

OpenStudy (wormynut):

Identify the envitormental benefits of using wind energy answer--1) Wind Energy is an inexhaustible source of energy and is virtually a limitless resource. 2) Energy is generated without polluting environment. 5) Windmill generators don’t emit any emissions that can lead to acid rain or greenhouse effect.

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

what i choooooooooooooooooooooooooooooose

OpenStudy (wormynut):

*Explain what location has to do with wind energy availability ----6) Wind energy can be harnessed only in those areas where wind is strong enough and weather is windy for most parts of the year. 7) Usually places, where wind power set-up is situated, are away from the places where demand of electricity is there. Transmission from such places increases cost of electricity.

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

im lost

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

lollol

OpenStudy (wormynut):

Explain the economic impact of wind energy on an area---10) Maintenance cost of wind turbines is high as they have mechanical parts which undergo wear and tear over the time.

OpenStudy (wormynut):

NOW YOU CAN CHOOSE *ANNY* POINT FROM THE OPTION I GAVE YOU

OpenStudy (wormynut):

understood?

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

oh i choose 10

OpenStudy (wormynut):

what 10? 10th point or 10 answers...what? I'm going nuts! XD

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

10 answer
