Science behind wind energy

Picture
  • Wind is a resource we will always have, so we can always use it. Wind turbines can also only be useful in windy areas or its just a waste of useful materials. 
  • A large windmill can create electricity for about 4,000 homes; a small windmill can create electricity for about one farming operation. If there is no wind at the time you can store extra power in large batteries so you will always have power. 
  • The waste by products of wind power are manufacturing, transportation, installation, maintenance, removal and disposal of wind turbine equipment. Wate by products are products that are used in manufacturing or used or make something but you dont need.
