Will Wind Energy Be Blown Away?

by lisara210703

Wind energy is form of renewable energy. This 'new' source of
energy is getting more popular and not without reason. In various
parts in the world big wind turbine parks are placed by corporate
businesses yielding big quantities of energy that can be sold as
environmental friendly or 'green' energy. Wind energy is big
business. Big companies profit from renewable energy but also
invest substantially in this new energy source.

As mentioned before wind energy is very environmental friendly.
In the search for alternatives for fossil fuels this energy
source turned out to be very lucrative. This energy source makes
us less dependent on traditional fossil fuels. It is important to
lessen the dependence on traditional fuels. There are many
reasons why here we will inform you with the most important once.
The traditional fuels are predominantly in the hands of countries
in troublesome areas. Therefore you are not sure if the amount of
crude oil you request will be delivered due to instability in the
region. Also the price for these old fuels is increasing and the
current reserves are diminishing. But most of all these old
energy sources pollute our planet. But as always the beautiful
story of wind energy has not only positive sides. Let's look at
some of negative points as well.
 
In the Netherlands a windmill park is located in the north of
the country. Although the local people here were in favour of the
windmills they changed their minds when the mills were actually
placed. The residents were complaining about a constant noise
during the night that could be compared to a 747 taking of. These
complaints were not taking serious by the corporate business
owners. Therefore the residents decided to research their
complaints by the local university. The outcome of the research
was that the residents were right and their complaints should be
taken seriously. It turned out that the windmills produced more
noise in the evening and night than during daytime due to a
higher turbulence at night caused by very specific changes in the
upper air layers. During the day there is less turbulence and the
sounds that are produced by the windmills are diminished by the
noise of local traffic and wind blowing through the trees. All
specifics can be read in this paper: The Sound of High Winds: The
Effect of Atmospheric Stability on Wind Turbine Sound and
Microphone Noise by Frits van den Berg.

In Germany wind mills where placed in the North Sea. Although
the location for this purpose is very good, the park doesn't seem
to produce the calculated amount of energy. The windmills often
don't work properly due to malfunction. Whilst the location is
good and wind is blowing almost constantly the windmills often
just don't work. The mills were not moving at all and therefore
not producing electricity. This project turned out to be very
disappointing, but the project is still running and it is
believed that it will function according to plan in the future.

In the United States in Vermont the local residents were opposed
by the planning of a new wind turbine park. The locals felt that
the wind towers would ruin their beautiful landscape. It is a
landscape that many generations have fought to preserve and the
current residents our proud of. It is hard to convince people to
share their landscape with large wind towers that disturb these
beautiful views. The plans for building the windmills in Vermont
are of the table.
 
Although is it a good and economical of energy, wind energy is
taking some real blows. The advantages are clear and the
disadvantages are becoming clear as well. When placed in a
surrounding where the landscape is cherished by the people who
live there, one could argue not to place them because it might
ruining the beautiful landscape and spoil the beautiful views.
Locals and tourist would find these turbines just plain ugly.
Also it should be kept in mind that wind turbines with these
sizes can produce a lot of noise during the evening and night.
Beside these considerations it has shown that wind energy is not
always a big success and there is more progress to be made.
Technically there are some steps to be made, but a lot of people
are working hard in this. Let's hope that wind energy is here to
stay and we will find proper ways to utilise this form a way that
we all can benefit from it.
