Wind energy has been used hundreds of years, is absolutely free disposal and causes no pollution. But a big question. Why energy wind is still only contributes for only about 1% of the worlds total energy needs? We have very clear answers only when you look at a little more in this issue: First experience with wind energy has created unfounded opinions that are still making the rounds and seems to go.
False ideas have not changed although we can confidently say that technology has undergone profound changes since the early days of the first wind turbines …
Fairy tale: The population of the bird life is hampered by Winda turbines. This is a familiar story for which there is absolutely no evidence to support this assertion at this particular time. It is known that more birds are killed by automobiles, two-story buildings and high or by human activity than by some of the technologies of wind turbines currently known. In fact, cats are known to kill more birds than windmills do
Also been reported that that large wind farms scale structures affect the migration of birds. Environmental studies are regularly carried out in the U.S. in densely populated areas of wild bird life in wind turbine installations are mainly restricted strictly.
Fairy tale: Windmills generate high noise levels
Probably the last thirty years, we can say that this was the case, but definitely not true today. Technical evolution and current application techniques have windmills close to becoming silence. The noise generated by mechanical motion can not be observed near a mill wind and only the soft sound of breathing air through the rotor blades of the turbine can be heard. In fact, a modern and well build wind turbines at a distance approximately 40 meters is a noisy combination boiler room work in public services.
Fairy tale: valuable forest areas are destroyed by the windmills
Strict rules on environmental issues like this prevent this happening. Mill assemblies and groups are most of the time installed on the existing land and in most cases, are installed in or privatized land unfit for farming.
Fairy tale: Wind Power Systems are not cheap
The operating costs of wind turbines had been driven by modern technology year after year and are becoming less expensive, while volumes production increase. The latest game consoles have undergone technological change and it can be compared with progress in the windmill and technology wind turbine. Moreover, as production volume increases, the cost of buying a unit becomes less as more units have been produced by the manufacturer.
Fairy tale: the wind farms nearby depress the value of your property
Wind farms are located most of the time, in the areas of development where they are actually adding to property values.
Disadvantage: Sometimes, power generation can be intermittent. This is true not usually cause any problems when the windmills are connected to the local power grid. This is more often the case.
No doubt the benefits: green jobs are being created for the cost efficient and windmills are paying well and where more are required – in the underdeveloped regions of the country. By far the biggest benefit is that greater reliance on polluting sources like coal or energy nuclear power is shrinking.
