Because they turn the renewable power of the waves into clean green electricity, which has no polluting emissions of greenhouse gases that come from using fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).

they produce no CO2 so there good


Compare wind turbines and wave turbines?

Wind turbines use the kinetic energy of wind to generate electricity, while wave turbines harness the energy from ocean waves to produce power. Wind turbines are typically installed on land or offshore in areas with strong winds, while wave turbines are situated in the ocean to capture the motion of waves. Both technologies are considered renewable sources of energy, but wave turbines are less common and still in the early stages of development compared to wind turbines.


Where is wave energy collected?

turbines at the bottom of the sea


How much power do wave turbines generate?

Wave turbines can generate varying amounts of power depending on factors such as the size of the turbine, the strength of the waves, and the efficiency of the technology. On average, a single wave turbine can generate between 100kW to 1MW of power, with larger arrays of turbines capable of generating even more electricity.


Two forms of renewable energy?

wind turbines and wave generators


What effect does generating more hydroelectricity have on the use of wind turbines and wave power?

If more hydroelectricity is generated as an energy source, wind turbines and wave power will be used less. If these sources are used less, this could cause job loses and other detrimental effects.


Why do you have wind turbines?

To get energy that does not harm the environment just like solar panels.


How do wind turbines help the environment?

Wind turbines create an electricity which is made from natural resources,(wind, hence the name wind turbine!) This electricity is much better for the environment because you don't have to burn natural gas or use the mains. :-)


What is the environmental cost of using wind turbines?

Wind turbines generate energy using wind power. This does not affect the surrounding environment, therefore their environmental cost would be minimal.


Where is a good place for wind turbines?

Where it's windy.


What energy do you get from the ocean?

Oil from underneath the ocean floor. Wave energy from waves. Wind turbines located off shore.


Why is wind energy good for environment?

Energy from wind is less detrimental to the environment than most other electricity generation. Wind turbines need complex and advanced production facilities that pollute. Wind energy is not just good for the environment because there is noise pollution and the placement can affect certain wildlife.
