Windmill technology is good
because:
a. It
conserves and keep waters clean, the turbines of windmills do not produce
emissions that contribute to mercury contamination in lakes and streams. It
conserves water compared to nuclear
power plants that require 600 times more water and coal that needs 500 times
more water as well.
b. Wind
energy is pollution free, therefore air will be cleaner. When this happens,
global climate change and acid rain will be prevented.
c.
Greenhouse gases are not produced by windmill technology other than its
manufacturing, installation, and maintenance. Compared to other sources like
fuel and coal that burn-off and produce harmful emissions in the atmosphere,
wind power produces none.
d. There
is no longer a need for mining. The destructive effects of mining to the
environment can be prevented because harnessing the energy of the wind as a
main source of power prevents the depletion of Earth's natural resources.
e. Lands
will be preserved because these windmills require only small portions of land
that have minimum impact on crop production or livestock grazing.
