Explanation

Wind power, as an alternative to fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation and uses little land. Once the wind turbine is built, the energy it produces does not cause green house gases or other pollutants. Wind power is very consistent from year to year but has significant variation over shorter time scales.
