Whereas fossil fuel power plants pour polluting particulates
and greenhouse gasses, especially carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere,
wind power is a non-polluting source of energy
Switching to wind power lessens the need to build more polluting
fossil fuel power plants
Wind farms preserve open space that would otherwise be lost
to development
The potential capacity of wind power promises to meet energy
demands in place of fossil fuels
Installing new wind turbines to meet energy demands is relatively
simple
As a renewable source of energy, wind power exists independent
of fuel market prices and supply
Federal tax credits are available to subsidize research and
development
