Solar power is outpacing wind power for the first time ever. The U.S. and China have the two largest wind markets in the world. Globally, demand for wind turbines is predicted to shrink by 5 percent this year, for the first time since 2004.
I'm not really sure how I feel about this article. Both wind and solar power are great natural ways to produce electricity. It has to be cheaper to build solar panels rather than huge wind turbines so I can see why solar energy is becoming more popular than wind energy.
I think that it is great that were moving towards more environmentally friendly forms of energy. I think that solar power is better then wind power for exactly what you stated, it's cheaper to build.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kirsten. I am very for being environmentally friendly. I think it is great weather you use wind power or solar power. I think it really depends what you are using it for. The other great thing about eco-friendly is that it will pay itself off. Yes, it could be very few years or a couple but it will pay itself off.
