The U.S. Department of Energy states the following benefits that wind energy can offer:

• It’s economically competitive
• It’s a valuable crop of the future for farmers and ranchers
• Unlike most other electricity generation sources, wind turbines do not consume water
• It is an indigenous, homegrown energy source that contributes to national security
• It is inexhaustible and infinitely renewable
• Offers many environmental benefits
• Because wind energy’s “fuel” is free, it reduces the risk associated with volatile fossil fuel
