Task: Read the text
Presenter: Love them or hate them, huge wind
turbines are becoming a more frequent sight along our motorways. Along with
solar panels, they are an important source of renewable energy. But how
effective are wind farms at providing the energy we need? Joining me to discuss
this is Lisa Baum, a renewable energy expert. Lisa, is wind power the future?
Lisa: I very much think it is.There are
so many benefits to wind. It's so much cleaner than gas and safer than nuclear.
Wind farms are becoming cheaper to build and more efficient to run, making them
better alternatives to gas or nuclear. European countries are leading the way.
Germany already gets
over ten percent of its energy from wind power and many EU countries will have
already reached their wind power targets by 2020.
Presenter: But I've read wind power is
unreliable. What happens when the wind doesn't blow?
Lisa: Obviously, that is an issue. But
the technology is improving all the time which means that even the slightest
gusts of wind can generate electricity. Also, there is big investment in
off-shore wind farms, which are much more reliable. The largest off-shore wind
farm is in the UK and there are 175 wind turbines producing 630 megawatts of
electricity.
Presenter: That sounds impressive.
Lisa: Well, believe it or not, the
biggest on-shore wind farm in Europe is even bigger. 240 wind turbines on a
110-kilometre site near the Black Sea in Romania. But despite there being 65
more wind turbines, its capacity is smaller than the London site's.
Presenter: Because the wind at sea is
stronger?
Lisa: Exactly.
Presenter: So, what does the future hold?
Lisa: Well, as the price of building wind
farms comes down further and the efficiency of the turbines goes up, it is
hoped that countries will continue to replace fossil fuel power stations with
cheaper, cleaner wind farms. Presenter:
Thank you for joining
us.
Lisa: My pleasure.
