Wind Power Presentation By: Windco inc. CEOs: Abigail Berry and Amanda Klingsheim
Wind Power: Advantages and Disadvantages Advantages: * It is a clean energy source * It is more aesthetically appealing than most other energy source options *It is environmentally responsible and doesn’t emit any harmful chemicals or radiation Disadvantages: * It takes money * It takes wind which we don’t always have around here
Pugh Matrix Chart (See next slide) We compared different types of energy to each other using the Pugh Matrix Chart

Results from the Pugh Matrix Chart Our results showed us that wind power was the way to go, as it was had the best ranking among the other types of energy sources. Wind power is clean energy source and would take up less room, resources, don't cause emissions, the cost is worth the efficiency, windmills are extremely durable and reliable, windmills are aesthetically pleasing, and culturally respectful. There were no other energy sources that could match those standards, which is why Windco's Windmills from Windco Inc was created.
Wind Power vs. Solar Power Takes lots of resources Not a lot of sunny weather here Not aesthetically appealing Takes up lots of space Not very culturally respectful if we placed down a field of solar panels in our valley.
Wind Power vs. Nuclear Power It is expensive to build a facility for Hard to get Can be very harmful Dangerous Not aesthetically pleasing Not culturally respectful Very clean energy form
Wind Power vs. Geothermal Power Costs a lot Cannot always be culturally respectful Is reliable and efficient Is not environmentally friendly
Wind Power vs. Fossil Fuels Hard to get at Using fossil fuels continues to emit heat and gas emissions It is a non-renewable resource Costs money to get to Not environmentally friendly emissions
How does wind power work? We are able to harness wind power through specifically designed generators which harness the wind's power and turn it into electrical energy.

How much would a windmill cost? According to Windustry, the cost of a windmill with under 100 kilowatts is about 3-8,000 dollars for each kilowatt of capacity.
