decided to choose this topic because wind turbines is one of the answer against the global warming‚ it is a completely renewable source of energy. When it is installed‚ running cost are lower than many other electrical systems. While running‚ wind power do not produce carbon dioxide. However‚ all structure have an impact on the environment. Many people complain about the damage to local eco-system‚ to the visual impact as well as the noise that produce. Wind turbine seems to be clean when they

Renewable sources of energy Wind energy Wind Energy‚ energy contained in the force of the winds blowing across the earth’s surface. When harnessed‚ wind energy can be converted into mechanical energy for performing work such as pumping water‚ grinding grain‚ and milling lumber. By connecting a spinning rotor (an assembly of blades attached to a hub) to an electric generator‚ modern wind turbines convert wind energy‚ which turns the rotor‚ into electrical energy. Because wind is a clean and renewable

energy sources like solar and wind energy will see increased use to replace traditional sources. One of these sources‚ wind energy‚ is seeing a rise in development because it is a source of renewable energy that is both sustainable and poses minimal costs to the environment. Wind power has been around for many centuries‚ and has steadily developed over the last 100 years. The first major usage of wind power in the United States was between 1870-1930 when farmers used wind energy to pump water (Union
