Some notes on wing energy - Everything has its negative point

avatar

Hello Community of Project.hope, we are almost at the weekend, again, I hope you are having a very good week, very productive and taking care of yourself.

This publication is based on a recent reading of an article, which led me to think about what I want to say next. I was reading about wind energy and the benefits that it brings to the world to produce energy from the force of the air, that seemed great, much more considering that at present we need to reduce pollution levels, to go increasingly minimizing the use of fossil energy (gasoline, diesel, kerosene, etc), and that the trend is more to use clean energy (solar and wind energy, for example).

However, as I read other articles, I somehow came to another one that pointed out the negative effects that wind energy has for example... I said to myself, well, we certainly can't focus only on reading the good things it brings, everything in life has its weak points. And this caught my attention, because it's hard to please everyone, in fact it's impossible.

What are those weaknesses?

That's what I want to talk about a little bit next.

As you can see in the image on the right, the energy comes from the movement of those big blades, which is the wind that makes it move and this movement is transformed into electrical energy through another system, I am not a great connoisseur of this area, I must emphasize, but as a universal law I know that Energy is not destroyed, but transformed, in this case the Kinetic energy is transformed into electrical energy. So far, we are doing well, but what is the detail that some highlight in this case?...

These propellers are of great dimensions, they can be up to 40 meters long, in addition, the towers are 100 or more meters high. Of the points that criticize this I can enumerate:

  • The noise that, you can imagine, some 40-meter long propellers rotating on an axis, driven by the force of the wind. A large area in which several of these giant devices operate. The noise is a huge pollutant. And this in turn brings up other points against it, for example the following point.
  • It has caused many birds to migrate to other habitats, in search of peace and quiet, which in turn has led to changes in different ecosystems.
  • But that's not all, these big propellers bring with them an increase in the mortality of the birds, which may not see them when they are turning, or simply become disoriented by the noise and are simply destroyed.

For conservationists, these are obviously points that are not at all viable for the permanence of many bird species, so there are strong claims about that. It is logical, and it is necessary to improve this aspect, but how?

Thank you very much for reading me.

I wanted to share this information with you, and know what you think about it:

  • Can you improve these points that are considered negative?
  • Did you know anything about it?

The need to diversify and adopt other sources of energy is imminent. Wind energy is a good alternative since it has to do with maximizing one naturally available thing "air". But as you've rightly pointed out, it has it downsides. One of which is a high cost. The cost of setting up a wind energy system is highly expensive. Also, it causes nose pollution a great deal.

Yes, costs, another great detail, not all countries can afford such projects. Everyone has their pros and cons, they will continue to search for something better, less harmful to nature

Greetings friend @josevas217, extraordinary your article, I really did not know these negative points related to the generation of wind energy, usually we only focus on the positive and forget that on this planet we are several species that live together and that we are all necessary for a proper balance in our ecosystem, friend I loved reading your excellent article because I learned new things about the generation of this type of clean energy. Successes.

very true, and also the difficulty to move them since they are large, are a problem for move it However they are still a good solution to have clean energy.

I love that point you brought up. So fitting. If any type of energy illustrates the transformational nature of energy it is watching wind blow and affect its target. It's a constantly changing chain of events. Both water and wind are fluid, but water is more tempered and does not illustrate the mechanism as well.
