Wind is a form of solar energy. The term wind energy describes the process by which wind is used to generate electricity or mechanical energy. Wind turbines convert the mechanical energy of the wind into electrical energy. Wind turbines usually consist of three main parts. There are blades that connect to a central hub, a box behind the blades that contains the generator, and a long stem that connects to the ground. The way it works is that the wind spins the blades, which spin a shaft that connects to a generator that produces electricity. After electricity is produced, it is sent through transmission lines to a substation that is sent to businesses and homes. For the sake of our planet, we must promote a renewable energy economy. Wind energy can be the foundation of that sustainable energy future because it provides jobs in states that are building wind turbines, is a renewable energy source, and does not harm our environment. The environment will not be damaged by pollution, natural resources will not be depleted and no hazardous waste will be generated. Embracing wind energy today will lay the foundation for a healthy tomorrow that will impact everyone in the United States. There are obstacles and challenges that will make everything more difficult, but the environmental impact is worth investing more money in wind energy. As the wind energy industry continues to grow, it will provide many job opportunities for workers and job seekers. These careers will extend beyond just the wind farm. To build and operate a wind turbine, the efforts of many workers will be required. Workers will be in factories and offices. There are construction workers, electricians, engineers, operators, gear manufacturers and bla...... middle of paper ......to improve and allow their children to live in a cleaner environment. Building wind turbines in some areas may not be as beneficial. But some areas will benefit more than others because more winds blow in a given area. Places where there is more land will be perfect for building these wind turbines because they will generate huge amounts of electricity that can power many buildings. The siting area should be chosen with utmost care where there is plenty of constant wind. Since wind energy is a renewable technology that does not contribute to global warming, it will be a better and healthier choice for Wong 4 that does not have a huge impact on our physical environment. Having a wind generator to use wind electricity can be attractive depending on a person's preferences and is a strong statement of someone's values and thinking.
