Because wind energy is clean and fuel-free‚ it has become an attractive solution to the world’s energy challenges. It has already become a mainstream energy source in many countries around the world. This is due to the fact that efficiency and production capabilities of wind

United States Landowners and Residents In today’s world‚ which most definitely has an environmentalist mindset‚ there seems to be a feud or conflict between those in favor of fossil fuels and those in favor of alternative energy‚ i.e. solar energy. It seems so disputed and heated that you could compare it to the rivalry in our political system among democrats and republicans. Each side wishes to strengthen our communities‚ states‚ nation(s)‚ and world politically and environmentally for the generations

Without it we would simply not be able to have transportation or be able to gather any of our other resources that we depend on. If at anytime our energy supply ceases or no longer attainable the results may be horrific. However‚ it is quite easy to keep this from happening‚ It is crucial that our current
