The Answer is Blowing in the Wind
Britain is in the middle of a serious energy crisis! We are desperately in need of a new form of energy which will be capable of generating enough power to see the country s homes, businesses and industries into the twenty-first century. But, that s not all! This new alternative source of energy must also be practical cheap to set up and maintain, highly productive and above all kind to our planet. This is certainly a tall order!
At the moment, more than 90% of Britain s energy needs are met by burning fossil fuels or generated in nuclear power stations. Unfortunately, these are not renewable sources of energy, and once they have run out, that s it. More importantly, though, these methods of electricity generation are harmful to the environment. They emit harmful greenhouse gases, which contribute to global warming and climate change.
How then can we produce enough energy to power an entire country without damaging the environment? What can we use as an alternative, reliable form of energy, which will generate as much power as fossil fuels and nuclear energy, but have none of the drawbacks? Well, as people are increasingly coming to realize, the answer is all around us. Wind power!
Wind power is an alternative energy source which has been used for many years in countries like Holland and Denmark. In fact, today it is the world’s fastest-growing source of energy. Strangely enough, even though it is one of the windiest countries in Europe, Britain has been slow to take advantage of wind power. The strong winds which blow around Britains coastline could easily be used to provide us with all our energy needs. All we need to do is set up some wind farms.
Wind farms are actually arrays of electricity-generating wind turbines, which are tall, slim towers with two or three rotor blades at the top. The wind turns the blades, which spin a pole. This pole is connected to a generator, where the electricity is made. There can be as few as one and as many as thousands of wind turbines in a single array. Computers monitor the wind direction and speed, and can shut down the turbines if the wind becomes too strong.
What is more, wind turbines make hardly any noise and they are not unpleasant to look at, certainly not as ugly as nuclear power stations! Although wind farms do take up a lot of space, they are often located on unoccupied sites or in areas that can also be used for farming. Building wind farms at sea is also possible. In fact, the stronger winds generated at sea make offshore wind farms a practical alternative. Offshore wind farms also mean that much larger turbines can be built, without objections from the public.
So, why delay? Wind power offers a solution to all our energy problems by being a renewable, clean and safe source of energy which is easy to live and work with.
The Answer is Blowing in the Wind
eBrithani phakathi esibi energy crisis! Singabantu siyidinga kakhulu uhlobo olusha energy okuyinto azokwazi ugesi owanele ukuze abone izwe s imizi, amabhizinisi kanye nezimboni singene leminyaka lamashumi amabili nanye. Kodwa, lokho akulona wonke! Lo mthombo new ehlukile energy kumelwe kube eshibhile practical wamisa futhi sigcine, kakhulu ithele futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke nomusa iplanethi yethu. Lokhu ngokuqinisekile oda obude!
Okwamanje, ngaphezu kwama-90% of Britain s energy izidingo zifeziwe ovuthayo zokubasa ezimbiwa phansi noma elakhiwe eziteshini amandla enuzi. Ngeshwa, lezi akuzona renewable sources of energy, futhi once baye seniphelelwe, lokho s it. Nokho, Okubaluleke, lezi izindlela ugesi ziyingozi imvelo. Zikhiphela eyingozi greenhouse gases, ezinomthelela ekufudumaleni kwembulunga yonke futhi kwesimo sezulu.
ke Singabonisa kanjani ukukhiqiza ugesi owanele ukuze amandla izwe lonke ngaphandle kokulimaza imvelo? Yini esingayenza ukusebenzisa esikhundleni, ifomu okuthembekile amandla, okuzokwenza ukukhiqiza amandla okuningi njengoba zokubasa ezimbiwa phansi namandla enuzi, kodwa abe akekho nemiphumela ethile engathandeki? Well, njengoba abantu ngokuya uyeza bona, impendulo nxazonke us. Wind amandla!
amandla Wind elinye wamandla eye yasetshenziswa iminyaka eminingi emazweni like Holland and Denmark. Empeleni, namuhla-anda ngokushesha umthombo wezwe amandla. Okuxakayo, nakuba ingenye yamazwe ebanda kunazo zonke eYurophu, eBrithani bekuhamba kancane ukusizakala amandla umoya. The imimoya enamandla okuyinto nishaye azungeze Britains ugu kalula lusetshenziswa sonke ethu izidingo zamandla. Konke kudingeka uyenze wamisa ezinye amapulazi umoya.
Wind amapulazi empeleni arrays kagesi-odala ophephela, okuyizinto abade, imibhoshongo slim nge ezimbili noma ezintathu izindwani Rotor phezulu. Umoya uphendulela izindwani, okuyinto spin a pole. Le pole ixhunywe a generator, lapho ugesi senziwa. Kungaba abambalwa njengoba omunye futhi abaningi njengoba izinkulungwane ophephela in a array olulodwa. Computers ukuqapha isiqondiso umoya speed, futhi ongawuvala phansi turbines uma umoya kuba namandla kakhulu.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ophephela wenze neze yimuphi umsindo futhi akuzona ezingemnandi ukubheka, ngokuqinisekile ngeke njengoba ugly njengoba iziteshi amandla enuzi! Nakuba umoya amapulazi do bathathe eziningi isikhala, bavame isendaweni sites lutho noma ezindaweni ezingase zisetshenziselwe ukulima. Ukwakha umoya amapulazi olwandle zingenza. Empeleni, imimoya kunamandla ekhiqizwa olwandle enze umoya nosebe amapulazi a okunye practical. Offshore umoya amapulazi futhi kusho ukuthi turbines olukhudlwana lungakhiwa, ngaphandle ukuphikisa ezivela emphakathini.
Ngakho, kungani ukuzindela? Amandla Wind linikeza ikhambi zonke izinkinga zethu energy ngokuba umthombo evuselelekayo, zihlanzekile futhi ephephile energy okuyinto lula ukuphila futhi basebenze.
