Renewable Energy - Wind - Advantages and disadvantages table in GCSE Physics


	Wind
	Advantages Clean fuel source. Does not require burning of fossil fuels. Not a source of atmospheric emissions. Sustainable and continuous. Created by the heating of the atmosphere by the sun, the rotation of the Earth and its surface irregularities. Inexpensive. Can be build on existing farms while only consuming a fraction of the land, meaning that farmers can still work.	Disadvantages Turbines themselves are expensive to construct. Blades are a threat to wildlife. Noise and visual pollution.
	Evaluation
