News Analysis: Wind Generation Technology (WGT) Approaches Prices Of Competitive Energy Systems by increasing production thereby lessening costs via “Economies of Scale”. More buyers are pursuing ‘Wind Energy’ as “Ecologically Friendly” (which it is).
For the pluses of ‘WGT’ there are the negatives counter-balancing the Technology: Wind Farms are “an unsightly aesthetic blight” some say: the blades kill many birds in flight (which they do); the Electrical Energy provided is transitory (depending on wind availability); the Vast Amount of Energy needed to fabricate ALL Elements of a Wind Farm is not considered by Ecologists; and, Wind Energy is too costly compared to other Energies (however, costs are decreasing).
As ‘WGT’ “Pros” gain against the “Cons”, in part due to its ‘Technical Fashion-ability’, many will see that it is a “Ship that has already ‘Set Sail'”. Reality.
