1 Wind Energy

2 What is Wind Energy? Wind energy is a form of energy conversion in which turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical or electrical energy that can be used for power. Since wind power does not require the use of fossil fuels, it is considered a renewable energy source (Dictionary.com 2014).

3 What are Wind Turbines? a turbine having a large vanned wheel rotated by the wind to generate electricity.
