Windmills
Windmills are a source of clean renewable energy. Wind-generated electricity is not dependent on the combustion of fossil fuels making it a favourable energy source. There is no release of harmful greenhouse gasses while transforming kinetic wind energy into electricity. Wind energy is also an inexhaustible resource as it is generated through the warming of the atmosphere by the sun. Some disadvantages of windmills are that they require large areas of land to be built on and create noise pollution, disturbing nearby communities. As a result of this, most wind farms are situated quite far from where the energy produced is consumed.
