Wind Power
Wind power converts energy from wind turbines into usable electricity as an alternative to fossil fuels. It has advantages as it is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean and produces no greenhouse gases. While some countries like Denmark rely on wind for 19% of power, wind also has disadvantages as it can create noise pollution, power levels are unpredictable, and turbines pose dangers to birds. Offshore wind power is also being explored.
