Criticism Of The Blows
Wind industry’s rapid expansion in the past few years has given a go to many myths and, to cut through the noise, in this post I generalize and focus on the most common of them considering OnShore wind.
Wind Power is expensive: Levelized Costs o Energy (LCoE) studies show that OnShore wind is competitive with coal-, gas- and nuclear-based technologies.
Wind Power is unreliable: Power grid operators constantly match electricity generation and demand. Though no power plant is 100% reliable and needs “back up”.
Wind Power is harmful for environment and health: Wind power operation doesn’t produce any harmful emissions or hazardous waste. Moreover, noise of wind itself is usually louder than wind turbine audible sound.
