Why wind power, as opposed to solar, hydroelectric, etc.?
Each source of renewable energy has its advantages and disadvantages. Hydroelectric power created by damming rivers can be very harmful to the river and the land around it. Solar power is too expensive right now. Wind power, on the other hand, is relatively cheap and widely available in New York City. Wind power is booming , with enormous potential for future growth. There are few harmful effects of building wind turbines. Lastly, dozens of colleges have independently concluded that wind power is the way to go.
