What are the benefits of wind energy?
Wind turbines have many advantages. Wind energy is 100% clean energy that is free from all political, ethical, economic and environmentally damaging problems inherent in coal, oil, gas or nuclear power. Wind energy has none of the major drawbacks inherent in other forms of electricity: no geopolitical risks, no foreign energy dependence, no fuel risk, no exploration, no refineries, no pipelines, no depletion of raw materials and no radioactive waste and virtually no carbon emissions.
There are also benefits for the inhabitants of the municipalities concerned: they can (from one share of 125 euros / family) invest in wind turbines and share in the profits they generate.
