6d+Wind+--+Advantages

 There are many advantages for wind energy.
 * Wind is a renewable energy source that doesn’t produce any harmful waste.[[image:dieterichpm/fdsssssssssfjsdfsjdfjdkfsfweisfdf.jpg align="right" caption="wind turbine with a sign saying that it is clean, green, and useful. From http://www.rivercitymalone.com/"]]
 * Wind turbines almost never break down. In fact, more than 95% of the time, wind turbines are mechanically available.
 * Wind produces a lot of electricity for homes all over the world. For instance, every year, wind energy produces 65,000,000,000 kilowatt hour (kWh) worldwide which is enough to power 6 million U.S homes. in the U.S., people use about 4,700,000 kWh of wind energy. That is enough to power 1,000 homes.
 * Wind can be stored under $5,000 but wind is free to use. That is 20% less than the cost of the cheapest alternative. Wind is becoming cheaper and it is now $900-$1400 and the price is dropping.
 * The amount of wind energy being used for electricity increased by a lot over the year of 2009. In fact, the mount people used wind for electricity increased exactly 28.1%.
 * The cost for wind actually depends on the size and shape of the wind turbine that produces the electricity.
 * Wind blows as long as the shining sun is outside in the sky.
 * Wind blows longer and steadier on water then on land because there are no obstacles on water to block the wind from the blades of the turbine.
 * Since there are no obstacles on water, a lot of wind energy is available off shore.
