Wind like waves and sunlight are created by natural functions of the earth as a planet. They do not require time to form a fuel like coal and gas. As these functions are "naturally occurring" they are considered to be renewable. They will, as far as we are currently concern always going to occur.
There is always wind to use to generate energy. The wind is not going to run out. Energy sources like coal and oil will one day run out

It will probably not be "the" energy of the future, but it is quite useful because of its inifnite renewability, minimimal harm to the environment, and reliability for energy. However it lacks in how much power it can produce and how consistent it produces it, which is where its downfall is.

Non renewable energy, by definition, uses resources which cannot be renewed such as coal and oil.

As said resources run out people will have no choice but to switch to renewable sources.

Wind is a renewable energy source because we will never run out of wind; wind will just keep coming and coming and coming, forever and ever and ever.

Wind energy is converted into electricity by spinning wind turbine. Any electric motor that is powered by electricity will generate electricity if you spin it yourself very fast.


How do you conserve wind energy?

Wind energy, or rather, electricity produced from wind energy, can be stored in batteries. It can also be used to pump water uphill. This water can then be used later when needed to generate electricity (hydro-electricity).


Do you pay less to use wind energy to generate electricity?
