How Will Wind Energy (wind Power) Help Decrease The Risk Of An Energy Crisis?

Very peculiar about wind energy and why anyone is trying to promote it. I have been in energy my entire working life and if I could make wind energy cost efficient, then I would invest in it. However, without oil/gas energy, then wind energy cannot be efficient or be a “stand on its own” type of energy source as wind energy relies on oil energy in an effort to incorporate it on the energy grid.
Wind power must compete with conventional generation sources on a cost basis. Depending on how energetic a wind site is, the wind farm may or may not be cost competitive. Even though the cost of wind power has decreased dramatically in the past 10 years, the technology requires a higher initial investment than fossil-fueled generators.
The major challenge to using wind as a source of power is that the wind is intermittent and it does not always blow when electricity is needed. Wind energy cannot be stored (unless batteries are used); and not all winds can be harnessed to meet the timing of electricity demands.
Good wind sites are often located in remote locations, far from cities where the electricity is needed.
Wind resource development may compete with other uses for the land and those alternative uses may be more highly valued than electricity generation.
Although wind power plants have relatively little impact on the environment compared to other conventional power plants, there is some concern over the noise produced by the rotor blades, aesthetic (visual) impacts, and sometimes birds have been killed by flying into the rotors. Most of these problems have been resolved or greatly reduced through technological development or by properly siting wind plants.

Why just wind, nature has abundant alternate sources for us to get the energy supply – from the water falls, the flowing rivers, the sea waves, the solar energy, the bio fuels etc etc..
There are some hitches to be resolved in each (e.g., the velocity of waves on our Indian coasts are said to be not enough for power generaton) which can be addressed if we are serious.. (emerging inventions like power from pedalling of cycle etc lend lot of hope for micro level production for individual uses)..
But mysteriously the govts have not been sincere and one does not know how far the rumours of the oil company lobbies against the alternate sources are true.. (becos the depts of non conventional energy created last time the fuel crisis erupted was put on back burner once the fuel crisis blew over)..!!
The wind Mils depend on wind that is abundant on coastal line and the hill towns (and the message of a friend of the wind flow above 3000 ft is highly encouraging).. The problems like the blades getting detached and causing accidents in villages or birds getting killed could be resolved.. The question of problem in storage of power generated, raised by a professional here could also be resolved by suitable technology intervention, I think.
The question of high initial cost needs to be addressed both on technical as well as financial fronts (till cheaper options emerge).. It is better to invest on such projects than subsidising the oil and coal.. in my opinion.
The herbal alternatives like tapping the wild castor (Jatropha spp) for bio fuel etc have not been attempted in earnest by the govt..
Cogeneration of power in sugar mills from the bagasse has not been perfected and universalised – except in few private factories – and Govts should see that every potential to generate energy is exploited…
Just as we were led into the Industrial revolution, Green Revoluton, etc which released us from shortages of goods / food supply etc at crucial times (with all the adverse effects that followed due to our greedy over exploitation of the techs).., so we would be led into an energy abudnace as well..
For nature had always revealed itself at the right times for finding solutions to our new demands and enabling our safe survival!

wind power can be utilized by installing wind mills.its leaves are connected to a rotor of a generator and thus electricity is produced.it requires less amount for maintenance once it is installed.it creates less pollution.so it helps to overcome energy crisis.

Today energy crisis is happening due to the over usage of non renuable source.
wind energy can be substituted for these source.
So, Wind Energy must be used.
