When extracting power from these systems, this power is

proportional to the cube of the wind speed. Because of this,


there needs to be a wind of a velocity of at least 6ms

There are losses such as friction and turbulence
that lower the power which are not taken into
account
These calculations assume that all the wind is
stopped by the wind turbine, extracting all of
the winds kinetic energy, which in practice is
not the case.
The wind is free and with modern technology it can be captured efficiently.

Once the wind turbine is built the energy it produces does not cause green
house gases or other pollutants.

Wind turbines are only tall and therefore do not take too much space,
facilitating the land below for usage.

Many people actually like wind turbines and how they look on the scenery.

Remote areas that are not connected to the electricity power grid can use wind
turbines to produce their own supply.

Wind turbines do not come only in one size and form, facilitating different
types of terrain and space availability.

Wind turbines take up less space than the average power station. Windmills
only have to occupy a few square meters for the base, this allows the land
around the turbine to be used for many purposes, for example agriculture.
The main disadvantage regarding wind power is down
to the winds unreliability factor. In many areas, the
winds strength is too low to support a wind turbine
or wind farm, and this is where the use of solar power
or geothermal power could be great alternatives.
Wind turbines generally produce a lot less electricity
than the average fossil fuelled power station,
requiring multiple wind turbines to be built in order
to make an impact.
Wind turbine construction can be very expensive and
costly to surrounding wildlife during the build
process.
The noise pollution from commercial wind turbines is
sometimes similar to a small jet engine.
