More renewable energy a mix of offshore and onshore wind along with contributions from solar power could provide reliable and cost effective.
Problems with wind energy solutions.
Power storage is incredibly expensive on a large scale it is currently impossible to economically store power for times when the sun isn t shining and the wind isn t blowing.
Now imagine using wind energy as the resource to compress the air instead of relying on off peak fossil capacity.
Build up of salt on off shore turbine blades similarly has been shown to reduce the power generated by 20 30.
Issue 6 and volume 112.
Wind energy has a waste problem.
Disposing of the turbines while wind energy is marketed as the future s green energy solution turbines last only about 20 years and disposing of their behemoth.
Solution to renewable energy s intermittency problem.
The fundamental issues of solar and wind power are numerous so let s review the top 11.
Problems and a possible solution.
Build up of dead bugs has been shown to halve the maximum power generated by a wind turbine reducing the average power generated by 25 and more.
Bats have also been killed by turbine blades and research is ongoing to develop and improve solutions to reduce the impact of wind turbines on these species.
Wind infrastructure is becoming more commonplace and so are the benefits free power gives to landowners investors and everyday americans.
