Renewable Energy: Wind Power

The availability of the desperately needed power is closer than you think. How is it closer? It is closer because it blows in our face. Wind energy is the cheapest way to make power. It is cheap because of five reasons. They are that it’s cheap, very easy to obtain, it can be tourist attractions, it’s a good method for providing power to remote areas, and it is a very clean resource. With all these advantages obviously come disadvantages, but either way wind power I believe is the future, and if I wasn’t right than why are other people putting it into average life.

To start off wind power is very obtainable and cheap. I’ll give you an example where the organization of PBS said that it was very cheap because wind farms don’t use up any fuel. Wind power is only cheap after it’s started. Starting it is in a way expensive, but like Texas, they started out pretty heavy on pricing and after they started wind power now provide almost the amount of power oil produces. Wind farms are not expensive. Sure they require vast land but under the mills could be farms. Either way assembly of the wind mills is very easy because the wind mills are made in Denmark. So the number one reason it’s the cheapest form of energy, it’s because the pricing of power usage by regular people will decrease.

Now, it’s easy to obtain this power source, because it can be found anywhere, just like wind can be found anywhere. This resource is found anywhere on the coast of any ocean or sea. Coastal areas are very windy during the right season. Now, in places like Texas, or any vast rolling plains, it tends to be very windy. With all this wind imagine how much power we could be producing. My point is that we have all this wind at our disposal until the end of the world and I think that now is the time to start using it. Another plus to it is that, wind is a planetary resource, it is found all over the world.

So, why just have the US benefit from it when we could have the whole world act as an active community, to harness power for everyday life. Now the availability of wind is at our disposal but to start it as I have mentioned before is very expensive. But let me remind you what’s after the money shortage; a huge increase in power usage and output, and best of all money income.
