Question

Statement 1: Wind energy can replace all other sources of energy.
Statement 2: Installation cost for harnessing wind energy is very low.

• A. Only statement​ 1 is correct
• B. Only statement​ 2 is correct
• C. Both statements are correct
• D. Both statements are wrong

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both statements are wrong

Wind energy is the good source of energy and can go to great length to help us find a solution to our energy woes, but wind energy alone cannot replace all other sources of energy because of 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 and cannot replace all other sources of energy.
