Wind Farms

Wind power is a renewable source of energy which means that it can not run out, it uses turbines to create electricity, wind power is found all over the world but mostly in the USA and the UK.
Wind farms are usually put in exposed areas e.g on top of a hill, flat land with nothing to obstruct the wind, wind farms should be close to roads so they are accessible for maintenance and construction work.

Some advantages to wind farms are: it would never run out, requires less maintenance than traditional generators, costs less, it produces little or no waste.
Some disadvantages: it is difficult to generate the quantities of electricity, renewable energy often relies on the weather on its source  of power.
