Wind Energy

2. Alternative energy sources have become much
more necessary as fossil fuels are depleted and
pollute the environment.

4. Wind energy is one of the most cost effective of
all types of renewable energy.

5. A wind turbine—blades, rotor, gears, generator,
and electronics—operate to capture wind energy
and turn it into electricity

7. An increase in the wind’s power results in an
increase in electricity production
