   •Resources – No fuel is required, and no pollution is
   produced.
   • Protecting the land – People who live on Cape Cod
   worry that the turbines will ruin the natural beauty
   of Cape Cod.
   • Protecting the animals – Fish, birds, and seals might
   be disturbed or hurt. On the other hand, some
   • animals could use the turbines for protection, like
   reefs for fish.
   • Tourism – The windmills might block boats. They
   may make Cape Cod less “natural” and fewer people would want to vacation
   there. However, some people may want to visit Cape Cod to see
   the windmills themselves.
   • Costs – Wind energy saves money because it’s renewable, but turbines
   are expensive to build, and people need to take care of them.

   To add to the previous answer, wind is intermittent, meaning the wind doesn’t always blow so it’s not a constant source of energy.
