CONCLUSION
Even though the cost of wind power has decreased in the past 10 years, the technology requires a
higher initial investment than fossil-fueled solutions for power supply
Major challenge to using wind as a source of power is that the wind does not always blow when
electricity is needed
Wind turbines can be built in rural areas, thus benefiting the economy there.
Wind energy is one of the lowest-priced renewable energy technologies available today
It has been estimated that wind power could supply one third of the world’s electricity by 2050
