Read the following statements and choose the correct option.
Statement 1: Wind energy can replace all other sources of energy.
Statement 2: Installation cost for harnessing wind energy is very low.
Both statements are wrong.
Wind energy is a good source of energy and can go a great length towards helping us find a solution to our energy woes, but wind energy alone cannot replace all other sources of energy because of the following reasons:
1. Wind is not equally strong everywhere on earth.
2. Wind energy is not present all the time.
Also, the installations to harness wind energy require a huge amount of capital as the number of windmills installed should be enough to produce an adequate amount of electricity.
Therefore, it is not feasible to use wind energy everywhere.
