WIND ENERGY BY JOSH MARRE
HOWS IT PRODUCED • Wind energy is produced by windmills. • Windmills are essentially a type of generator that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy. • This energy comes from the motion of the air.
HOW IS IT TRANSPORTED TO THE CONSUMER • The energy generated travels out through wires. A wind turbine which produces less than 100 kilowatts of electricity, can be used to power a single home. Or a large group of wind turbines together make up a "wind farm" that can send electricity out into a power grid and provide electricity for one or many cities.
HOW WILL THE CONSUMER USE THE ENERGY • The consumer would use this energy as they would use any other source of energy around the house/in the business place. • It would serve the same purpose although you would know its coming from a greener, more efficient source, wind energy.
