Many! To understand the benefits of wind turbines, you really need to compare them to other sources of POWER and consider what we’d get if we didn’t use wind turbines. Wind turbines produce electricity using a RENEWABLE source (ie: there’s always going to be more wind), and do not produce any greenhouse gases or other emissions from their operation. This results in the following significant benefits:

• It reduces the amount of electricity GENERATED from coal, nuclear, and other non-renewable fuel sources;
• It is a sustainable energy source (ie: it won't ever run out);
• By reducing the use of coal plants, we improve the air quality and significantly reduce respiratory problems. In TURN, this help will reduce the burden on the health care system and free up muchneeded medical resources by an estimated $3 billion annually;
• Renewable energy means less carbon in the atmosphere, which helps in the fight CLIMATE change.
