    Wind power is a good source of electricity but it also takes up lots of space just like solar power plants.*;~

    Well, gee, if it’s windy, wind is a great source of power.

    Coal and nuclear power plants dont take up near as much room, unless you take into account the fuel supply and the spent fuel or pollution.

    So what is Summer’s point ? It takes alot of space to make power ?

    So what’s your answer ? Turn off your air conditioning ?

    Many many thanks for that perception on this topic. It’s been difficult to get information it seems.

    wind farms are great but they also take up a large land area*.’
