  1. We should use more wind energy so we don't need to use power plats and other stuff but we also need to realize we cant put to many up because of the birds

    1. And I think we should have more wind farms because are world wont get polutied

  2. I think you should use wind energy because it doesn't create pollution. It is also a source that is renewable. If you turned them into the type of wind turbines that Persians used you can use them to grind things. More wind farms can create more energy. Also if they had better equipment. That is why I think you should use wind energy.

  3. The US and other countries should have more turbines and wind farms because. They produce energy in a clean way. Wind is renewable like the sun and unlike oil. Wind is alternative energy source.

    1. I agree with Jaxon. my only concern is about the birds. if they fly into them, they could die. maybe, people could make the turbines like the Persians, but for electricity .if we did this, the birds won't have this problem.

  4. Wind farms produce little pollution, but on the other hand they are starting to hurt flying animals like birds.Although wind farms are also use full for producing energy they don't make that much energy.It's good that we are making more wind farms across the U.S. because then we aren't pouting that much.I think wind farms are a great idea for the environment and us.

  5. Yes because it does not pollute the air and it creates energy. Also it is a great way to get some energy but it could hurt flying animals i guess. If you have a lot of them it would create enough energy to power a house. That is great because it would help the environment!

  6. The world can use more wind power because wind will never go away. We can have slightly bigger wind farms all over the world. We can save coal and fossils for collections. Earth doesn't have endless coal and fossils.Plus coal can hurt the enviorment.

  7. We should use wind farms because it is renewable. It also not harmful to the earth. some people do not want wind mills. So birds won't get hurt.

  8. we should use wind farms because the aren't polluting anything but coal plants do so wind farms are better. Wind will never stop blowing so it will never go to waste but fossil fuels can. While coal plants are polluting the earth the worst thing that can happen is if a bird flies into one.

  9. Using wind energy is smart because it doesn't pollute the earth. It can be bad because it can blow something away and the wind isn't always blowing so there might not be much energy.

  10. yes i think it will be better if the us puts more. Because a lot of houses are being sold. And people are moving to new houses these days.And if they don't put more windmills there won't be light in there houses.So that's why the us needs to put more windmills.

  11. I think we should use more wind energy. To make more energy we should make our windmills designed like pinwheels. A bad thing about windmills is that windmills are expensive. Windmills also don't generate much energy. They also hurt flying animals.But in the end,windmills are better to use.

  12. I think that the United States and other countries should use more wind energy because one day we can run out of coal and gas and we will not run out of wind any time soon. I would think that the downfall to using more windmills is that flying animals can get hurt and we do not want to endanger them. I think it would also be nice to use wind farms because they do not pollute like regular generators. I would think that the other downfall to building a whole bunch of wind farms is that they would cost a whole bunch of money and they would take a really long time to build. Another thing about power plants is that the pollute a lot.

  14. We should use wind energy because it is renewable. This means you can not run out of it. Fossil fuels can run out. For example, gas can run out easily. I do not know why we barely have any wind farms.

  15. I think that the U.S. and other countries should use considerably more wind energy. The countries should do this because we only have limited amounts of coal and fossil fuels. Another reason is because coal and fossil fuels produce carbon, which is endangers the environment. Wind turbines create rotational energy, which isn't harmful to the Earth. There are only a few cons to the wind turbine. One, they can hurt flying animals. Two, wind farms and wind turbines cost a substantial amount of money to build. Overall, in my opinion, the U.S. and other countries should use more wind energy.

  16. I think that we should use more wind farms and other types of renewable energy harnessed from the earth. Things like coal and oil don't last a long time, and take thousands of years to form, so it's not like we'll be getting anymore after we use it all up. Wind turbines, however, are safe and straight from natural energy. Plus, birds scare me, no offense.

  17. I think that the USA should use more wind energy because it is all reuseable and it will never go away. If people think it is ugly than move it to a new place.

    1. Also the earth will be cleaner.Less polution from gas and less gas dumped in the water. What do you think.

  18. And we should use solar energy. Sorry it's not in my first comment.

  19. Yes we should, because we can't run out of wind energy, and regular gas energy will eventually run out because we will always have wind blowing stuff and we won't always have gas. Gas will run out. Also the gas energy pollutes the air, and the wind energy doesn't. Although, wind energy is expensive because you have to pay for people to build windmills.

  20. I think they shouldn't. Because my dad is an electrocution and he can fix the electricity. Also, because wind mills look wired and don't look like they work.Even though they give us power I think my dad should do our power. He is awesome.

  21. I think the US should use more wind energy because wind never runs out. We could still use fossil fuels, but we should take advantage of the things that never run out or pollute the Earth. Yes, I know that these turbines could hurt animals or look ugly, but to keep animals from getting hurt, we could develop some kind of device that makes bats or birds not like it and fly away from the turbine, especially at night. Turbines could put a stop to global warming, and save us from the downfall of a continent. Plants and animals all around the world are at stake. I think we should use wind turbines, not fossil fuels.

  22. Windmills are hard to make, but they help energy and don't pollute. They are harm to birds, but they also help the Earth.

  23. I think the United States should us more wind energy. I think they should because wind energy is a renewable source so we can never run out unlike coal with fossil fuels. I also think wind turbines could hurt flying animals, but the percentage is very low. It is also very nice that wind farms don't pollute the Earth unlike regular generators that pollute. There should be more wind farms on the Earth.

  24. I think that all the countries should use more wind energy. I think they should do that because coal and other fossil fuels will run out, but wind and other renewable energy sources wont. the only bad thing about it is that it might hurt birds and we don't want them to get extinct. Windmills will pollute less so that helps.another bad thing is that it takes a lot of money.

  25. I think the United States should use more wind. More wind can help homes have more light. Another reason why they should use more wind is it doesn't hurt the air. Wind will never stop blowing so windmills won't go to waste. One bad thing about them is that people don't like looking out their window every day and seeing the same boring color.

  26. The US and other countries should use less wind energy because only 1% of electricity we have, is wind energy. Most wind energy costs a ton, so it would be a lot of money to get wind energy. Wind energy could also harm animals with wings. If wind energy became popular, it could endanger animals that fly because wind energy could harm them. Wind energy could also help because they do not pollute and harm the earth.

  27. I think the U.S should use more wind energy from windmills. So we can use less energy. The windmills use the wind and then they create energy. Some people don't like that because wind doesn't blow all the time. We could also save money by doing that.

  28. I think think the U.S. and other countries consider having more wind farms and wind energy. Countries should have more because wind can supply us for a long time, coal,fuel, and gas are only limited. The U.S. is the leading country in wind farms and we only produce about 1 percent, the rest is mostly coal, fuel, and gas. Also carbon dioxide is hurtful to the environment. It has also started changing in climate. Which could lead to global warning. I think it is a good idea to have more wind farms.

  29. I think that the United States and other countries should use more wind energy. It is better for the environment and it's reusable energy. Unlike coal it is using energy from the Earth. I think they should make the switch. Just not to much for the birds sake.
