subject: Use Wind Power Energy For Having A Secured Future [print this page] Do you think 5,500 years are less?? Any guesses about what can be so ancient?? No?? I am talking about wind power energy which you people might think latest form of innovations. The real fact is wind power is being used from more than past 5 centuries for propelling sailboats or sailing ships. When it comes to talking about windmills it simply goes beyond out of calculations because windmills are being used from 7th century AD for irrigation purpose.
Hearing this, you might be thinking, so ancient but so modern we were in the past ages. Dont you think so that we have lagged behind technically?? In spite of the unlimited benefits we can have using wind energy, we use it scarcely. Dont you know the benefits?? Allow me to introduce you to it.
It is the least expensive among all the other forms of energies.
Wind turbines can generate 5 cents/ KWh, which can be compared to the oil burning power supplies or new coal power plants.
With the improvement of technologies we can expect that it will reduce its costs more.
If the wind turbines can be placed in such a position where the maintenance charges of it is less, wind power can be consumed free.
The most important thing is that it supplies clean energy. It generates no carbon dioxide, or no such harmful products. This means, it has no side-effects on the environment.
This energy is renewable. Like, coals or other such substances, wind is not going to finish with time.
With so many advantages, we are still lagging behind when it comes to using it to its full extent. Only 1% of worlds total energy is produced by using Wind Power Energy.
We can expect that with time, this mode of energy production will be used in much wider ranges.
Now, if we come to transportation sectors, we can see ship industries are using wind power energy instead of fuel energies. In ships flettner rotor is used which convert wind energy into forward thrust, that pulls the big ships in the middle of the oceans with terrific speed. The benefits come from this is no pollution or no tensions of fuel loading. When shipping is one of the principal industries of the world on which 75% of worlds economy stands, here the usage of Wind Power shows us the way to deal with winds in a better way. So, why not sticking to it when it is completely safe and easy to use technology??
