  2. Environmental impact of wind power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of...

    Wind turbines have some of the lowest global warming potential per unit of electricity generated: far less greenhouse gas is emitted than for the average unit of electricity, so wind power helps limit climate change. [3] Wind power consumes no fuel, and emits no air pollution, unlike fossil fuel power sources. The energy consumed to manufacture ...

  4. Low-carbon electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-carbon_electricity

    Wind power is considered a sustainable, renewable energy source, and has a much smaller impact on the environment compared to burning fossil fuels. Wind power is variable, so it needs energy storage or other dispatchable generation energy sources to attain a reliable supply of electricity. Land-based (onshore) wind farms have a greater visual ...

  5. Life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of energy sources

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-cycle_greenhouse_gas...

    This was done by analyzing the findings of hundreds of individual scientific papers assessing each energy source. [2] Coal is by far the worst emitter, followed by natural gas, with solar, wind and nuclear all low-carbon. Hydropower, biomass, geothermal and ocean power may generally be low-carbon, but poor design or other factors could result ...

    To that end, we support the development of wind energy to achieve 100% clean electricity." Siting, or careful planning of the location for each turbine, is the number one method to reduce bird ...

  7. Earth's energy budget - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_energy_budget

    Earth's energy budget (or Earth's energy balance) is the balance between the energy that Earth receives from the Sun and the energy the Earth loses back into outer space. Smaller energy sources, such as Earth's internal heat, are taken into consideration, but make a tiny contribution compared to solar energy.
