Wind is a renewable source of energy, and is gathered efficiently by turbines, which turns it into a “rotational energy” called torque, which is the energy form of wind. Wind is created by uneven heating of the Earth.

Wind is a renewable energy source; the supply is unlimited(at least until the sun burns out)!

ALL OVER!Wind power can be found all over the world!
The main part(s) of the United States wherethe most can be found is in the West, Northeast, and South Alaska.

Dark=more wind power
To use wind power, we build a wind turbine to harness and turn the wind into energy. The wind blows the propeller around, which turns a generator to make electricity.

Wind (and windmills) is and was used for many things. It is and was used for:
-sailing boats
-grinding wheat and corn
-pumping water
-sawing wood at sawmills
-and last but not least, gathering energy

Wind power causes no air or water pollution, no waste, and no greenhouse gasses. On the other hand, wind turbines occasionally do kill a bird or bat. The trees in the area must be cut down for the wind farm to be placed, so it does destroy the habitats of the animals in that area.

-Wind produces enough energy each year for 1000000 houses!
-With most wind farms, the wind only “allows” 18 hours of spinning the windmills.
-wind has been used for power for over 5000 years!
