Why is wind energy considered sustainable?

Wind power refers to the generation of electricity using wind turbines, which are driven by the wind or air flows. Due to the performance-enhancing built-in mechanism, the blades are always aligned with the direction of the wind. This mechanism also tilts the blades based on the wind speed, ensuring efficient operation.

The wind is an infinite resource available anywhere on the planet, as long as the sun is available to cause the changes in temperature that create it. Therefore, it helps to reduce the dependence on exhaustible energy resources, such as petroleum and coal. Wind power is also known to be a clean fuel source, as it doesn’t emit any greenhouse gases nor cause pollution when plants are running. Although the manufacturing process involves some carbon emissions, a wind turbine offsets its emissions within a year of operation. Moreover, these turbines can operate for more than 30 years.
