It is a green energy source, causing no pollution to produce the energy.
The potential is huge. We could create up to 20 times more energy than the entire human population needs.
It’s renewable, meaning we can’t run out unless the sun stops shining.
They are space efficient- 1 large can power 600 homes.
The price of wind turbines keeps decreasing every year.
Once set up, operational costs are low.
A personal wind tower could potentially protect you from power outages on the grid.
Wind is free.
You can become net producer of energy, rather than a net consumer with a personal wind turbine, meaning that the energy company might end up owing you.
Land owners who rent land to wind farms can make quite a bit of extra money
What Are the Con’s of Wind Energy?
Wind is intermittent and cannot meet the base load energy demand unless power is stored somehow.
Huge upfront investment to manufacture and install the turbines. Can be 10-12 years to completely recoup the investment.
Wind turbines can be a threat to wildlife such as birds, bats, etc.
Reports of noise problems have occurred.
Some people do not like the look of wind turbines on the landscape.
Severe weather can cause damage to the wind turbines.
