There is no one size fits all, perfect solution to creating energy without causing damage to the environment. Wind energy has many benefits, but its downside prevents some people from taking advantage of this plentiful natural resource. It may not be the answer to the world's electrical needs, but combined with other renewable energy resources, it can help us cut our dependence on coal and oil. Before you install a wind turbine, carefully weigh all the pros and cons of wind energy before deciding if it's right for you.
