Answer:

C: the turbines are too large

Explanation:

Wind energy is a very clean source of energy and it is very economical compared to burning of coal for producing electricity. Wind energy does not cause pollution compared to burning of coal that release harmful gases like CO(carbon(i)oxide) . wind energy are converted directly to electricity by the generator  for immediate usage.

Wind energy is renewable and sustainable and a very clean source of energy compare to burning of coal.

The only disadvantage over burning of coal is that the turbines are too large.

Hope I was of help! :)
