Benefits of wind energy

1. Just like the sun, wind is always there and is produced consistently.

2. Wind energy is free and we do not have to pay for it. No fuel is needed to power it.

3. Wind energy poses no harm to the environment or health of society as it is free of pollutants.

4. Over the years, the cost to produce wind energy has been reduced.

5. This has provided employment opportunities as workers are needed for installation and maintenance. This benefits the economy in rural areas where some turbines are installed. In addition to this, power plant owners at times pay rent to farmers and ranchers for the use of their land providing an income for them.
