What is good about wind power?
Alternative energy wind power has the potential to play a very significant role in the future of the planet’s energy production. Much of the attention has focused on solar power, but those with the responsibility of planning the future of energy production have come to realize that a different approach is needed. Solar power is good though? Many think that solar power alone can provide all of the energy we need for our future. The best possible result might be obtained from combining the best of the technologies we have available. Where can we use these energy sources? There are many areas of the world, especially the more northern areas, where solar power is less than ideal. There is simply not enough sunlight. In these areas, there tends to be consistent strong winds, especially offshore. This makes a combination of wind and solar power the obvious way forward for satisfying energy needs. What is the downside? Solar and wind energy are dependent upon a consistent supply of the natura
