Many contain elevated levels of ions that are above the primary or secondary drinking. Water standards, such as an elevated level of nitrate, arsenic, aluminum, copper, lead, etc. High net energy yield, widely available, low electricity cost, little or no direct emissions of co2. Needs backup or storage system when winds die down, visual pollution for some people, noise bothers some people, can kill birds if not properly designed and located. Taking things that are growing and using them as a source of energy. Agricultural crops & residues, forestry crops & residues, sewage, animal residues, industrial residues, municipal solid waste.
