DISADVANTAGES OF WIND ENERGY

There are many disadvantages of using wind energy. The initial cost of wind turbines is greater than that of conventional fossil fuel generators. From an environmental point of view, there is noise produced by the rotor blades, there is interference on television signals, and there are birds flying into the rotors, all of which are potential problems. Also dozens of wind turbines standing in a big field or coastline damage the view presented by nature. Furthermore, wind resources might not be available near cities and, even so, the space might be used for other purposes that can generate larger profits. In addition, wind does not blow consistently 24 hours a day and that could cause a problem when the demand for electricity peaks.
