Wind power generation is low carbon and environmentally friendly. Wind is a product of nature, whether it is used or not. As long as you install wind power generation equipment, you can generate electricity. In addition, wind power generation equipment is simple and easy to install, and there is no need for special development, thereby keeping the environment completely intact.
Hydroelectric power generation requires the construction of dams and changes to the natural environment, which changes the surrounding ecological balance and can have some impact on the local ecosystem.
Thus, wind energy is less carbon-intensive and environmentally friendly.
