A recent study has shown that wind energy will be one of the cheapest forms of energy in Asia within the next ten years (Lappeenranta University of Technology, 2015). However, information like this need not be limited to Asia, as it is due to increased capacity, which drives down the price of the form of energy (LUT, 2015). For example, wind energy prices in the United States have been reported to be extremely low compared to recent years (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 2015). This has been achieved through the construction of larger and taller turbines, which capture the stronger winds caused by changes in atmospheric pressure, as well as through the decline in construction prices of the wind turbines themselves. As further progress is made to limit the cost of manufacturing materials and produce taller, more effective turbines, these costs can only decline further. To summarize these benefits, wind turbines are cost-effective as energy costs are covered within a matter of months, the turbines can operate for twenty-five years or more at a significant production level, and the costs to consumers are low and further reduced over time. improvement of equipment and further placement of
