Question

practice it!
which of the following is a disadvantage of wind power?
wind power is only available during the daytime.
wind turbines produce many different kinds of pollution.
wind turbines are complicated to work on and therefore maintenance is difficult.
the infrastructure required to transport electricity is not always available in ideal windy locations.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Wind power is available day/night (wind isn't limited to daytime), so the first option is incorrect.
  2. Wind turbines produce very little pollution (no exhaust emissions), so the second option is incorrect.
  3. While wind turbines need maintenance, they are not uniquely overly complicated to service, so the third option is incorrect.
  4. Ideal windy locations (like remote hills or offshore) often lack existing power transmission infrastructure, making electricity transport a key disadvantage.

Answer:

The infrastructure required to transport electricity is not always available in ideal windy locations.
