Wind Energy

Wind Energy

What is it?

Wind energy is produced when the wind moves the
fins of a wind generator to turn a shaft and operate a pump or generator. Wind energy is a renewable resource and can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.

Give me an example!

Have you ever seen a picture of Holland that shows windmills? Their giant blades are turned by wind energy. In the old days, this wind energy was used to turn mill wheels and grind grain into flour.
