In ancient times 57 BC, Julius Caesar extended the power of Rome into the region of Europe that is now Belgium. The people he encountered there were the Belgae, one of the various Celtic tribes of early Gaul, and the Romans dubbed their new province Gallia Belgica. In the fourth century AD, with Rome in decline, control of Gaul was ceded to the Franks, a Germanic tribe that the weakened empire employed as mercenaries. As the Franks flourished, they decided to dispense with their Roman employers.

Wind power comes from Ultimately from the sun, which heats air, causing it to rise, thus changing pressures, which is what makes wind blow. Another form Of wind energy comes from the earth’s diurnal rotation upon its own axis. This happens when the enveloping air streams clash with each other thus causing stormy conditions. Change of seasons is often related to wind energy too. the most powerful and efficient turbines are the large scale wind towers that you see ural areas.. These wind can produce anywhere between 250 watts to 5 megawatts per hour (MWh). To put this in context, an average U.S. household uses about 10 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity each year. One megawatt of installed wind energy from a single large turbine can generate from 2,400 to more than 3,000 MWh annually enough to power about 250 homes
