If you didn't catch all of the pros and cons in the video, here they are.
Advantages:
~Wind energy is environment-friendly, as no fossil fuels are in use.
~Wind turbines actually take up LESS space than the average power station.
~New technologies are making the extraction of this enregy more efficient.
~Turbines are a great resource for urban land and the countryside.
~When combined with solar energy, they provide reliable supply of electricity.
Disadvantages:
~Wind is an unreliable source of energy by itself as it is not continuous.
~Wind turbines generate alot less electricity than the average fossil fuel power station.
~The constructing of wind turbines can be expensive and lots of animal and plant (trees) habitats will be destroyed.
