The advantages of wind energy include:

• Wind energy can offset the use of fossil fuels.
• It is available over a greater area than occurs with fossil fuels.
• There is no air pollution after manufacture.
• There is low environmental impact.
• Modern wind energy converter systems can be set up for individual houses, or as part of an electricity grid system interconnected with other types of generating plant.
• These are well proven and occupy a relatively small amount of land in proportion to their electrical output.
