Abstract: Energy is a hot topic in the news today: increased consumption, increased cost, depleted natural resources, our dependence on foreign sources, and the impact on the environment and the danger of global warming. Wind energy has the attractive attribute that the fuel is free energy and this will be the case for the project lifetime and beyond. Wind energy has great potential to lessen our dependence on traditional resources like oil, gas and coal and to do it without as much damage to the environment. Wind cannot be used as a dependable source of base load power because it may be blow or not depend upon temperature. So we use wind turbine near the sea because there is much larger availability of wind. The wind speed near sea shore is much higher than in plain areas.
Keywords: Wind energy, environment, dependence.
