Should brazil develop wind energy?

Advantages

  • Has a large coastline of 4600km - this is near the densely populated area and will catch the prevailing winds from the sea
  • It is renewable and Brazil want to become more self sufficient and wind turbines need less maintenance than the dam
  • More efficient in May-October

Disadvantages

  • Loss of scenery
  • Not enough energy could be produced
  • Take up room
  • Not as efficient inland so restricts the development

Evaluation

Overall they should increase the use of wind energy however they will have to combine this with another source of enery.
