Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 :  Wind energy
  • Wind energy is least reliable energy source by providing signification amounts of electricity.
  • Wind power, as an alternative to fossil fuels is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces no green house gas during operation and use little land.
  • Wind farms can reliably supply less than 1% of installed capacity.
  • Wind is intermittent and it does not always blow when electricity is needed.
  • Good wind sites are often located in remote locations, far from cities where the electricity is needed.
  • There is some concern over the noise produced by the rotor blades, aesthetic (visual) impacts, and sometimes birds have been killed by flying into the rotors.
  • The construction and maintenance of wind - energy facilities also alter ecosystem structure through vegetation clearing, soil disruption and potential for erosion, and noise.
