Question

a power company is building a new power plant to provide electricity for several communities. what is a major advantage of using wind energy instead of coal or nuclear power plants? wind is a renewable energy source.. wind is consistently available in all locations. windmills reduce the strength of severe storms. a single windmill produces more energy than a nuclear plant.

Explanation:

Wind energy is a renewable energy source, meaning it can be replenished naturally. Coal is a non - renewable fossil fuel, and nuclear power relies on uranium (also non - renewable in practical terms for human - time scales). Wind is not consistently available in all locations (e.g., some areas are wind - still). Windmills do not reduce the strength of severe storms. A single windmill does not produce more energy than a nuclear plant; nuclear plants have much higher power - generation capacities per unit (although wind farms can produce significant amounts when multiple windmills are aggregated).

Answer:

Wind is a renewable energy source.
