Kailyn Rasmussen · Answer 1

Answer: False

Explanation: Horizontal axis wind turbines are usually used for generation of the electric power on the off-shore. The generation of horizontal-axis wind turbine works well when it is installed away from the shore because it supports large sized wind turbines so that they can generate high amount of electricity. They are usually not preferred for the on-shore wind farms because they can have small sized wind turbines only. Therefore the statement given is false.
