sustainability is
protecting
the
environment
and
resources
for the
future.
Wind energy is a
renewable
source.
Wind is caused by the
Sun warming
air more in some areas than others
, causing it to
move.
As long as the Sun lights the Earth,
wind
will not
run out.
Wind power is sustainable because it releases
no greenhouse gases or pollution
,
The negative impact of wind farms is down to their local impact
if they
disturb
or
damage
local
wildlife
or
habitats.
the manufacture and transport of turbines can also have an
impact.
The towers are made of steel which is made using
coal
The blades are made from composite materials like
carbon fibre
which can be difficult to
recycle.
