composite. When wind turbine is worn-out, it has to be burned and
trashed out, a process that is perilous to the atmosphere. This wind
turbine replacement is necessary. One material of wind turbine is
thermoset plastic; this usually creates the wind turbines’ strength and
low weight requirement. A breakage from this wind turbine might
destroy houses and buildings nearby and pieces of the blade might be
scattered meters away. Wind power accidents are much common
compared to nuclear accidents. Recorded in 2008 were casualties of 16
civilians and 41 workers—a continuously increasing number. During
high winds, the turbines should be stopped and the rotation should be
stopped in order to reduce this staggering figure of casualties.
Moreover, a regular check-up on these wind turbines should be made
in order to prevent bugs build-up and the wearing of the blades
because if not 20-30% is estimate product loss. According to
O’Sullivan, 2011, money is an important element in maintaining the
quality of blades in order to maintain the wind power.
Wind Power: The Pros
There are many pros of wind power as a renewable resource of energy.
It is estimated that wind turbines can usually generate 500 kilowatts of
power that can lessen the carbon dioxide emission by approximately
