Environmental Impacts and Pollution Related Challenges of Wind Energy

Pragati Kumari

As we all know the fact that with the increasing of awareness about the threat on our nature and people are now
more familiar about the risk Or danger to our nature and it’s poor condition, there are many social and economic
awareness parties as well as all the authorities as well as environmentalists are in worry and Considering all the
pollution related challenges and all the parameters that are responsible for this threat and for that purpose they are
concerning about the nature and our earth across the globe. This is the reason that now we are looking for some
environmental friendly sources and therefore, we are now more depends on renewable energy sources like wind
energy, solar energy and hydro energy for the purpose to generate electricity. Now after looking all the possible
sources we think that the option for wind energy is safest and best option in terms of balanced development for our
Nation and our nature as well as concerning about the mother earth and in the criterion of commercial
development. This source is better option than other sources because of its two reasons first are renewability and the
second is availability. We need high potential for development as the world’s need for energy is far more than the
world’s total consumption of energy. According to the reports across the whole Worldwide, a total need of about 60
000 MW have been installed, which produces about 100 TWH yearly. The biggest and most important challenges for
further usage of energy and development and modification are connected to economy, land usage, environment and
grid capacity. As we all know that the cost of installations of wind power plants are low that ultimately reduced
installation costs, however there is no fuel used and hence no fuel cost and the construction is not very complicated
and time consuming and need construction time less than one year, it is said to be the most economic new power
plant technology. Man has used the energy in wind for many years for different purposes whether it is, used for
sailing the boats or running power generation mills at land. With all the available energy sources we can say that wind
energy source is the most mature and is the best option that we are looking forward to for the production of energy
in our future. The total effects of wind energy on the environment and our nature it often is positive, because of the
production of renewable energy and due to the fact that it has the power of replacing the mining activities that are
going around our own world. An overall view, about how that energy source will displace the harm caused by other
activities can be understood by more complete understanding of the environmental and economic reactions. So after
checking all the criterion of the positive as well as negative sides we may choose wind energy for the generation of
energy and other beneficial purposes as it is the safest one option. This research paper provides analyses and discusses
all the aspects to understand those environmental effects, both positive and negative. We consider both the effects on
our nature and our environment.
