About wind energy

Wind Energy Development Environmental Concerns
Although wind power plants have relatively little impact on the environment compared to fossil fuel power plants, concerns have been raised over the noise produced by the rotor blades, visual impacts, and deaths of birds and bats that fly into the rotors (avian/bat mortality).

Advantages and Challenges of Wind Energy
Wind energy offers many advantages, which explains why it's one of the fastest-growing energy sources in the world. Research efforts are aimed at addressing the challenges to greater use of wind energy. Read on to learn more about the benefits of wind power and some of the challenges it is working to overcome.

Britannica School
Wind is a clean and inexhaustible source of energy that can be harnessed to produce power.
Wind Energy - National Geographic
Scientists and engineers are using energy from the wind to generate electricity. Wind energy, or wind power, is created using a wind turbine.

Wind energy by Raum, Elizabeth
ISBN: 9780431115689
Publication Date: 2008
An introduction to wind energy that describes a wind farm, discusses its benefits and problems, examines wave energy, and provides a related map and time line.

Wind Energy - Gale
Wind energy (also called wind power) is a form of alternative and renewable energy harvesting via the translation of the kinetic power of moving air masses into electrical current. Wind is a natural phenomenon that occurs globally as air moves across the surface of Earth in response to differences in atmospheric pressure and density, which is the result of the interaction of differential solar heating of Earth's topographic features.
