Wind infrastructure is becoming more commonplace and so are the benefits free power gives to landowners investors and everyday americans.
Problems with wind energy solutions.
Like all energy sources wind projects can alter the habitat on which they are built which may alter the suitability of that habitat for certain species.
More renewable energy a mix of offshore and onshore wind along with contributions from solar power could provide reliable and cost effective.
Build up of dead bugs has been shown to halve the maximum power generated by a wind turbine reducing the average power generated by 25 and more.
Wind energy is on the rise with a 20 percent increase in wind energy jobs in 2016 compared to the year before.
Bats have also been killed by turbine blades and research is ongoing to develop and improve solutions to reduce the impact of wind turbines on these species.
Problems and a possible solution.
Now imagine using wind energy as the resource to compress the air instead of relying on off peak fossil capacity.
Power storage is incredibly expensive on a large scale it is currently impossible to economically store power for times when the sun isn t shining and the wind isn t blowing.
Build up of salt on off shore turbine blades similarly has been shown to reduce the power generated by 20 30.

Solution to renewable energy s intermittency problem.
Wind energy has a waste problem.
