Gear Up with Gear Experts 024: Wind Energy Myths: Debunked

In episode 24 of Gear Up with Gear Experts, we welcome Gear Expert Cody Sellers as our guest in the studio. Cody is the Northwest Regional Sales Manager and first joined us back on episode 3.

We talk with Cody about:

1. The myth that wind energy is more expensive than conventional energy;
2. The myth that wind turbines are really loud;
3. The myth that turbines kill birds; and
4. The myth that offshore wind turbines are not safe for sea life.

Our weekly insight stays in-line with the wind theme.

This week we discuss some of the interesting facts associated with wind energy. Topics include:

1. US wind capacity;
2. Job creation; and
3. How much electricity is produced and the effects it has on our carbon footprint.
