Wind being used as a source of energy isn’t new as it has been used ever since the invention of windmills and boats. Due to the fact that fossil fuels are the primary source of energy in the United States (along with other countries)‚ people have begun to look for other ways to get our energy. Though this topic relating to the energy issues always bring up controversy‚ in this essay I will tell you the two opposing views on wind farms and then tell you which viewpoint I agree with and why. Then‚

Wind Energy Wind energy is the most efficient and cheapest form of electricity today and with one megawatt of energy it can light up two hundred fifty to three hundred households wile also helping the environment stay clean. Wind energy has many advantages as well as disadvantages to it just like everything else in the world. It is very helpful to the environment in most way but could be harmful in others. There are over forty-five thousand wind turbines in the United States which house twenty

Cause/Effect: Solar Energy Solar radiation is an energy resource many times larger than mankind’s energy needs. Mankind has been able to capture/harness this energy resource‚ but only on a limited scale. Mankind has found that the use of the sun was quite useful. They used it to grow and dry crops‚ dry clothing‚ produce heat‚ and for light. The sun is a sphere‚ on the inside of the sun there is a continuous process of fusion in which hydrogen nuclei combine to from helium nuclei. There is less

“Clean Energy/Green Earth” Clean Energy research has seen large increase in politics of the modern day world. The demand for safer and renewable energy sources has become a larger issue because of the now known effects it has on the environment. Some much so that we have seen it play a huge role even in the political circle and is a major topic of debate. Renewable Energy has been increasing with advancements in technology and the overbearing concern of using alternative energy as fossil fuels.

The two types of energy resources I chose were wind energy and biofuel energy. Wind energy uses turbines which convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This power can be used for a generator‚ a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity to power homes‚ businesses‚ schools‚ and many others. Biofuel energy unlike other renewable energy sources can be converted directly into liquid fuels for our transportation needs usually found from dead plants and animals

and a simple combustion procedure turns them into energy for running a vehicle‚ generating electricity and/or heat. Fossil fuels are currently a cheap source of energy and so are the methods of producing energy from them. With our present distribution networks‚ we can get fossil fuels of all kinds around the world. That makes it easy to employ them‚ no matter where you are. Thus‚ there is a huge dependence of fossil fuels. That means‚ as energy is running out‚ everyone will suffer the consequences
