| Wind electricity has made huge gains in the last | | | | day as the earth heats and cools. It is more efficient |
| couple of years, and today it remains one of the | | | | compared to the conventional electricity using |
| most cost-effective of all the renewable energy | | | | fossilized fuels. Engineers have design wind turbines |
| technologies. It is an excellent complement to the | | | | that produced more electricity making it the cheapest |
| solar power system. In some parts of the world, | | | | form of renewable energy. |
| when sun is not shining, the wind usually blows. Wind | | | | Third, according to study, wind electricity is gaining |
| power is useful in the winter weather to capture | | | | popularity because it is known for its cleanliness and it |
| both the strong and gentle mountain winds during the | | | | is known for its industrial safety. No accidents happen |
| times of slightest sunlight and it simply fills in the gaps | | | | for people working in the wind industry. No one have |
| left by solar power. Why wind electricity? Wind | | | | ever been killed by a wind turbine. Fourth, |
| energy is abundant and limitless. It is present in the | | | | conventional electricity requires hectares of lands to |

| Magazine, wind electricity is created through rotating | | | | building gigantic power plants just to generate |
| blades convert the wind kinetic energy into rotational | | | | electricity. But wind power uses only less land and |
| momentum in a shaft. The rotating shaft turns an | | | | turbines make up less space than the average power |
