All right, so you had a question about solar and wind energy and where it's being utilized in the world.
00:10
So in general, solar and wind are usually found in less populated areas where there's either a sustained amount of sunlight or a sustained amount of wind.
00:24
So i put two examples of each here.
00:27
So i got wind farms here on the left and some solar farms on the right.
00:32
And oftentimes sustained winds can be found on coastlines near the well on the ocean coast.
00:41
Because of the convection currents from the breeze from the sunlight each day, warming up the land faster than water.
00:50
So it causes a sustained breeze.
00:52
So wind farms on the coastline are an example where that wind technology can be best use.
01:03
Another example here is on the bottom left.
01:05
This is a farming area in africa that has built wind farms in the less populated areas where farming is occurring.
01:18
I live in the united states.
01:21
We do the same thing.
01:21
Here, i live in nebraska, which is almost all farmland.
01:27
So you see a lot of wind farms here in nebraska and iowa because there's a lot of open space.
01:36
The farmland is a great place to be putting up wind farms because oftentimes we get sustained winds year round and it's not interrupting the big cities.
01:46
So wind farms oftentimes are in low populated.
02:03
So another example, well, the other example with solar farming is oftentimes they're put in deserts, dry areas where it's not going to rain a lot, not going to have major storms.
02:15
You don't want these mirrors to get damaged with hail and strong winds.
02:21
So deserts are a prime area for sustained wind farm or solar.
02:28
Farms, i should say...
