WIND ENERGY
Wind energy is the power that make the wind to produce electricity, such as using wind turbines, windmills for mechanical power, wind pumps forwater pumping or drainage, or sails to propel ships.
Large wind farms consist of hundreds of individual wind turbines which are connected to the electric power transmission network. Offshore wind farms can harness more frequent and powerful winds than are available to land-based installations and have less visual impact on the landscape but construction costs are considerably higher.
Wind power, as an alternative to fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation and uses little land. The effects on the environment are generally less problematic than those from other power sources, with the exception of disproportionate effects on endangered birds, such as the golden eagle and raptor species.
