Pros:
-Large potential, has 20 times more than the populations needs
-Renewable
-Largest of wind turbines can generate power for 600 US homes
-Wind power is growing very rapidly at 25% per year
-Prices have been decreasing and are expected to stay that way
-low operational costs
-protects home owners from power outage
Cons:
-Wind is intermittent, therefore not suited to meet the base of load energy demand
-requires a large investment
-can be a threat to wildlife
-Noisy
-their looks concern for some people

-Wind power can be used by windmills to grind grain and flour
-It may be used to pump water
-can be converted into electricity for many purposes

-First used around 5000 years ago in Egypt
-Was used by sailboats to travel across the Nile River
-Windmills first made around 2000 B.C in ancient Babylon
-Windmills with wind-catching surfaces early as 10th century for grinding grain in in eastern Iran and Afghanistan
-Working wind machines from 12th century for milling grain
-Few centuries later, windmills modified to pump water in The Netherlands.
-farm windmill made in 19th century USA
-Rail routes dependent on windmills to pump water for locomotives until diesel engine invention
-Only 50 domestic wind turbine manufacturers in the 70's.
-Wind farms began in the 80's

In conclusion, we believe that wind turbines are the most Eco-friendly and efficient sources of electricity that Canada could invest in. Although there are some downsides to wind turbines, some of their qualities could potentially save planet earth.

-When taken down, land restored to nature

Here are some reasons why wind turbines are the best source of energy:
-Wind is free
-Turbines are good for the environment as they use a renewable source
-They can be set up in remote areas
-Once it has been completely set up, the cost of generating electricity is less (slideshare.net)
