Wind Power

The importance of wind power today.

Wind turbines are operated by the wind pushing the blades which then spin, forcing the lower shaft to move, which then turns the gear box making the generator move around, creating the energy.

Wind turbines create energy by the wind hitting the blades which then spin the lower shaft, which then turns the gear box making the generator move around, creating electrical energy.

Wind turbines have an extremely low contribution to green house gases. This is because it doesn't burn any types of fossil fuels, Creates electricity by using wind, wouldn't cost much after installation unless it needed to tweak it up. The only big problem this energy system is quite loud.

The best parts of the world to install this devise would defiantly have to be a very windy area. Some of these locations should consist of open fields, defiantly not near a residential area unless of course u want to have enemies, out to sea if it is possible although it would cost a lot more to install. There is a place up north which has some wind turbine farms.

Set up wind turbines facing the arrows on the map if you have the right destination to place them. A smart way to find the perfect destination would be to watch the wind speed patterns through out a month to a year, and calculate the profits by finding the average wind speed through out the year. Stronger winds are usually out to sea; use that to your advantage. Try not to place in areas that have monsoons or any other events that could destroy the wind turbine, otherwise you will be paying a lot more money replacing and repairs that you make with the electricity.

The energy used is renewable because wind doesn't break up it will keep on flowing through. But you will not use the same type of wind twice. So this topic is quite debatable since you don't really use the wind again.
