Why Wind Energy Outshines other Alternative Fuels

By Dale Green

Wind has a definite advantage over many other types of energy - abundance. Renewable, unlike fossil fuels, they will guarantee our future generations that their source of power will never be threatened, become sparse or disappear.

We are all familiar with how this generation became affected because of the gas shortages and the rising of the prices of fuel. Using wind power, this crisis should never be repeated and even with economic crisis that is shaking the world today, the fuel prices will not be as high despite growing competitions. Now that wind power can be generated for the needed fuels, the crisis will be controlled.

Competition against the fossil fuel generation is already taking place and many wind energy bids are being won, able to prove that increased fuel costs just are not in their future equation. Once the initial equipment is in place, the costs remain steady. What a great feeling.

Having wind energy as the source of fuel and power, people will be able to breathe easily because of economic freedom and environmental safety. The operation of wind power will never contribute pollutants to the environment ,which causes air contamination that affects the health of most people all over the world. The air we breathe will be as clean as it was from the beginning.

A variety of applications available through wind power continue to grow. Powering homes, businesses and farms, wind can also provide energy to remote areas, pump water and power telecommunication sites. In just a few years, there will be no excuse for anyone in the world to be without needed power.

Unlike the conventional plants that use large amount of water to cool plants when generating their power from fossil and nuclear fuels, the wind turbine never needed fresh water in its operations. All this water can be used by people for better purposes.

Now that wind power is being operated in the rural areas, the urban areas are also benefitting from this because some utility grids are now operating in many regions, giving the urban areas their supply of energy at affordable prices. None of them were harmed by the rotating turbines.

But for all of the reason listed above, public support ranks at the top of the list. People are tired of the games with everyday living expenses and want options that are simple, well defined and cost effective. Wind generation supplies this and much more. Maintenance will not be as high or nearly as complicated, it is a source of energy that does not have to relied upon by a worldwide cartel and national security will be much more controllable with everything being homegrown and kept at home. Wind power as we know it today is probably just the tip of the iceberg in what technology will come up with for wind tomorrow but one thing is for sure-wind energy is here to stay. - 31812
