Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Wind energy is a renewable energy source and is formed due to the uneven heating of the land and water surface by the sun. However, a few limitations in harnessing wind energy over a large scale are as mentioned below:
       Windmills can only be installed in places where the wind blows for the more significant part of the year.
       Wind speed should be 15 km/h or more to rotate the turbine at the required speed-the requirement of a backup facility when the wind is less.
       A large area is required to set up the wind energy farm.
       The tower and blades require a high level of maintenance.
