•Less expensive than coal, oil, nuclear, and most natural gas fired generations •Becoming more and more attractive to utility and electric cooperatives •Wind farms are collections of windmills and need no traditional electrical source to run. They just sit and spin. •Wind energy does not produce any greenhouse gasses. •Wind farms do not impact the grounds they are placed on. For example, wind farms can still be used for grazing by cows and so on. •Wind energy production can be pursued anywhere there is wind. •Wind energy production can be fed into existing utility grids much as solar power is with net metering concepts. •Wind resources are not restricted to certain countries, resulting in less confrontations whether political or armed. •Wind is caused by temperature variations resulting from the sun heating up the ground. As long as the sun is cooking, estimated to be another 4.5 billion years, there will always be wind.
Pros
•Not always a consistent wind •Infrastructure take up a lot of land •Expensive form of creating energy •Amounts of wind are always unpredictable
