1. Wind Power: The Energy of the Future By: Sam Padham, Matt Klevisha, and Evan Yates

2. What is wind power ? It’s an inexhaustible energy source. It’s made useable when wind energy hits the turbine of the windmill which, in turn, creates electricity. http://www.globalgwa.org/uploads/images/wind%20turbine.jpg

3. How does it work ? How is it being improved ? High-powered windmills are used to capture the wind and use it’s energy to create electricity. Newer turbines are being created to be able to operate in slower winds. Smaller turbines are being created to bring in to communities in order to power water pumping and purification processes. http://www.coal-is-dirty.com/category/coal-tags/wind-power
