As we spend fossil fuels with no plan to replace them, and as climate change continues to take a toll on our planet, many have looked to alternatives in renewable energy. Implementing a sustainable, abundant, and clean source of energy is more important now than ever before. Solar panels, hydroelectric plants, and geothermal methods are all gaining popularity across the globe, and each source of renewable energy comes with benefits and disadvantages. Wind power is one method that could help us shift away from gas and coal, as it provides free electricity to nearly every climate in the world from a source of power that is nearly infinite. As the technology is still gaining public acceptance, many point to the risks and downsides of wind power, concerned about its disadvantages, though these concerns are part of any new technology and not significant enough reasons for rejection.  According to WINDExchange on the page "Wind Energy in Tennessee" *, currently only .05% of Tennessee's energy is sourced from wind turbines. To prepare for the day when fossil fuels run out, and to help make the planet a better place, change is necessary.  Wind power is an alternative, sustainable, and economically sound source of renewable energy with benefits that outweigh the disadvantages. We all want to live in a cleaner world. We all want our children, grandchildren, and the future of humankind healthy. Lets convert to wind energy. Help make a change. Sign the petition.
