Wind Power A Renewable Energy Source By Katie Jamson

What Is Renewable Energy? b Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources b Examples of renewable energy are: b Wind b Solar b Hydroelectric b Biomass b Tidal b Geothermal

Wind Power b Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form, such as electricity, using wind turbines. b Wind produces only about 1.5% of world-wide electricity use. b Despite this it is growing in popularity. WIND! WOOOSH!

Wind Turbines b b A wind turbine is a rotating machine which converts the Kinetic Energy in wind into electricity! b b This is very useful and great for the environment!
