Pros And Cons Of Wind Turbines

524 Words3 Pages

As of right now, scientists are predicting fossil fuels will run out in 53 years. Therefore we should start turning to renewable energy. For Waunakee, Wisconsin I think we should turn to Wind Energy, Wind Mills, and Wind Turbines. If you live in Waunakee you would know that there are giant wind turbines already on the west side of Waunakee. The wind turbines provide energy for some of Waunakee.

I think wind energy would be the best choice because in Waunakee there's a bunch of farms, for example in north ridge there's the No Name Farm, in Southridge/KilKenny there aren't that many farms but theres open land that nobody has builded on yet. In west bridge it's the same thing as Kilkenny/ Southbridge. If every single farm would give up a little bit of land then we could put a wind turbine in that little bit of land they gave up. Therefore we can put 2 to 3 wind turbines to power each neighborhood powering all of of the neighborhood but as population grows, they are going to add more wind turbines. …show more content…

There also can be places where there aren't that much wind brakes. Which means it would be getting a lot of wind for the wind turbine making it so we get even more energy like it states in the article Bio fuels watch . One of the challenges with this source is that if there isn’t a windy day then there wouldn’t be power for Waunakee. Also, this powerful spinning force could hurt flying animals. And you put them in remote areas and far away from cities where they are needed like it states in energy.gov. And costs about
But on the other hand, the good part about this source is that most days there is a lot of wind, and it is powered by natural resouces so for this (wind turbines) would be wind. It is also very unlikely for flying animals to run into the turbine because, it is very slow moving and most animals are smart enough to not run into it unlike this

Out of six First Nation groups, we agree Lower Kootenay Band to be the most favorable one to propose our wind energy project to after discussing with my group members. They have a very open territory of 6,000 acres, and a small population. Currently, they are seeking “Clean Energy Opportunities” and our business fits right in the criteria. The reason we did not choose Hesquiaht and Tsawout First Nation is because both are located on Vancouver Island with relatively denser population and many tourists. Ferries and ships occupy the sea nearby, almost impossible to develop offshore wind turbines.

Power plants burn fuel to produce heat to generate energy; however, nuclear power plants use the heat given off fission to turn water into steam. Nuclear energy is without a doubt a great way to power our homes because, Nuclear power plants are safer than other energy alternatives. Nuclear plants are safer than other energy alternatives. Coal is responsible for five times more deaths than nuclear power plants, coal also causes over one thousands more serious causes of illness than nuclear. Nuclear plants produce steam while coal plants, heat water by burning coal that produces greenhouse emissions.

It is hoped that the Native American land will not be deserted like the Chaco Canyon and Cahokia, and that language is not lost. A culture that has benefitted the earliest of settlers in America should not be forgotten. Rather than seeking oil sources in order to make our economy “self sufficient” (Yan), why don’t we search for alternative energy sources in our country that are non invasive. The Missouri River doesn’t have to be subjected to oil spill, instead it could become a source of hydroelectric

The turbines have to be a certain number of feet in the air. Are there trees, buildings and other obstacles that would block the wind? Is there a fast flowing waterway in which you would have rights and access to so you can install hydro generators if needed? Fourth Concern: Natural Disasters Is the property in a flood zone? Zones change all the time, and even if not in a so-called flood zone is there a chance the property could be flooded.

With coal mining comes the stripping of mountains, also called mountaintop removal. This is the act of blasting and stripping miles of mountain and forest to gather enough coal for the coal plants. One form of energy that could prevent the landscape from suffering is using Hydroelectric power. Hydraulic power or Hydropower uses the energy from water when the H2o moves the turbines to create the electric energy that is then sent to power grids and then homes or workplaces. Hydropower is made when the water being held in a reservoir is passed through turbines turning the kinetic energy of the water into mechanical energy when the water's force moves the turbines.

Since Texas is one of the largest producers of wind and solar power, it should encourage the use of renewable energy. If some Texas coal mines and oil drilling were to swap to wind and solar power the overall renewable energy will increase. For instance, “the increase in wind power and the retirement of almost 6,000 megawatts of coal-fired generating capacity, coal-fired power plants supplied 18 percent of state generation in 2021, down from a 36 percent share in 2011.” (U.S. Energy Information Administration, Page 4).5 Due to coal power becoming an outdated energy source, wind power can make a large contribution to the modern world all while being cheaper

After the mountains there will be the another coal mining site. Nearly every American is a part of the issue since we rely on electricity daily and demand that it is reliable, and easily accessible across the continental United States. We are the problem. The documentary did give brief alternative to meeting energy needs which would be done by constructing windmills along mountain ridges. No one person in the documentary mentioned that the aesthetic value would go down after constructing windmills.

Through every thing that has been said and un said of nuclear power plants. There just is not a place in the todays world for them. Maybe some day in the distant future technology will be advanced enough to make nuclear power safe and viable. However, todays society nuclear power plants are not a smart decision and should be left alone due to the effects they have on the human body and the nature around them. Information from Eugene Robinson has even shown that nuclear power plants are very dangerous to humans and cause long lasting problems that cause generation after generation problems to their bodies and the land around them.

There are many pros and cons to nuclear power, it may help people get jobs and money however, it causes the environment to be unstable and put people at risks. Connecticut should oppose the building of a nuclear power plant. It causes too many risks, though it can benefit the state in a way it harms the state more than it can improve it. Therefore, Connecticut should oppose the building of a nuclear power plant and should not even consider building it. Nuclear power always carries risks of a major disaster, and is too costly to be competitive.

II) Ethical Issues Like I stated earlier, “In today’s times anything with the word nuclear has become a huge ethical and political debate. ” People are so scared of anything radioactive, and you can’t blame them. Many deaths were cause by them in the past, and most likely more deaths are going to happen in the future with nuclear radiation being the cause.

The 3 resources,"The Power of the Wind , Deacon Residential and Commercial Wind Turbines, and Wind Turbines 101 are about how wind energy is beneficial to human life. The text" The Power of The Wind "has a strong argument , while " Deacon Residential and Commercial Turbines" has a weak argument while the video,"Wind Turbines 101" needs some improvement. The text "The Power of the Wind" is strong because the text has good reasoning because the author has logical reasoning to support his claim and he never uses bias. That statement is proved because in Paragraph 5 it includes,"Wind is an excellent for of energy because it is renewable, meaning that it will always be replenished by itself." This proves my claim because it shows that he states true facts and that it is logical because compared to coal and oil who emit gases and it is not renewable so it proves that wind power if beneficial.
