  • Wind Power Its Pros and Cons
  • The quest to find an alternative energy resource
    that is in accordance with history and latest
    trend in technology has paved the way for humans
    to look after the environment and to preserve the
    natural resources. An alternative energy resource
    is wind power. This is not a new discovery but
    overtime it took a fresh and better tactic.
    History will reveal that hundreds of years ago,
    windmills were already use in Europe in wind
    farms with wind turbines in order to gain as much
    as wind energy as possible. This is an effective
    method in producing the maximum wind energy
    however, there are pros and cons that one has to

    only half of the country's needs the rest is
    imported. If imports were cut off, what changes
    would you expect to occur in your lifestyle?
  • If you are interested in controversies,
    investigate how geophysicist M. King Hubbert
    predicted in 1956 that annual U.S. oil production
    would peak in the early 1970s (the actual peak
    occurred in 1971). Also, investigate the debate
    over whether the same predictive technique can be
    applied
