What are some advantages and disadvantages of using wind energy to
create electricity?

Advantages: Wind turbines do not actively create green house gases, wind is an indirect solar energy (which means it never runs out), and it has a fairly high net energy

Disadvantages: NIMBY effect (not in my backyard, it means people support it, but they don't want to be near it), transportation and construction of materials cause greenhouse gases, and wind turbines can kill/harm birds and bats

Explanation:

Gathering, constructing and transporting materials to build wind turbines releases green house gases, because of vehicle's combustion and factory emissions. However, wind turbines rely on a renewable resource that a) never runs out, and b) is a clean source of energy. Compared to nonrenewable energy sources, wind is a good energy source.

emerald ash borer

the emerald ash borer is a green buprestid or jewel beetle native to north-eastern asia that feeds on ash species. females lay eggs in bark crevices on ash trees, and larvae feed underneath the bark of ash trees to emerge as adults in one to two years. hope this !
