Can we replace gas power stations with wind turbine bine?

Question

sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!! That should just say Wind Turbine!

Answer 1

Yes, but you'll need a lot of wind and some way to store the energy. So far, gas is much cheaper.

Answer 2

It would take a lot of turbines.  And what would you do when the wind does not blow.

Answer 3

Not completely.  There's a huge amount of power being generated by gas.  Wind can replace some, but not all.

The only thing that's powerful enough to replace all is nuclear power.

Answer 4

Gas power stations work anywhere but wind turbines have to be built in windy places.  We can do this but to generate the same amount of electricity would require thousands of wind turbines  probably on every piece of high ground in the country.

The cost would be enormous and therefore the price of the electricity would be as well.

Answer 5

Yeah, of course we can, in fact that is being done in some countries like Germany, Deenmark and Spain. For example the amount of wind energy produced in germany is the same amount of energy produced by all means in my country-Colombia-. Wind energy is only stored when you are using small wind turbines, but big wind turbines can be conected directly to the grid and if they are placed on good wind places they will provide energy the whole year/24 hours. Some people says they are more expensive, but when you have wind turbines you dont have to pay for fuel, remember that...

Answer 6

you need alot of them in there present form, there are some new types with no moving parts which are more efficient, working on vacuum

Answer 7

No you can not, they are 2 different types of facilities.  

It would be like trying to replace the engine on your gasoline lawn mower with a wind turbine for power.
