wind energy project!!!!!!?

We Answered:

Its renewable

Wind energy is used to make electricity

Texas is the biggest producer of wind power, followed by California then Oklahoma is in there. It is in Europe too.

I see no need to conserve wind energy any more than any other (turn out the lights when you leave the room) but you can in Texas from some electrical providers choose wind energy as a preference I hear to help the environment.

Generation of wind energy causes no pollution and is a never ending resource. Taxes are paid to local schools from wind energy. It creates jobs. It saves coal and gas. Land owners get paid lease money.

Some people say it kills birds and destroys the views.

Some people have attempted to sue wind companies with no success because they say it kills their property values.

Building permits may be required, the U. S. government law gives tax incentives to wind energy, local governments often offer tax abatement's to get wind farms in their area.

Steve Said:

What part of the world needs wind energy the most?

We Answered:

You could certainly argue that nearly all parts of the world would highly benefit from wind energy.

But I suppose that the "best" areas would be along the coastlines, as those are the areas with a favorable combination of wind strength/speed and endurance/sustained wind. It's also very beneficial since an enormous fraction of the total world population lives near the coast in the first place.

Mid-continents also receive favorable wind patterns, but there aren't usually very many people around to benefit in those areas. Naturally, though, a proper electrical infrastructure could carry electricity generated in these areas to more distant locales.

WIND MILL ENERGY PROJECT FOR SMALL SCALE?

We Answered:

You could make your own wind mills or solar panels very cheap, check out http://www.savetheearth.biz they have a guide.
