Wind turbines use the wind to rotate blades that turn a rotor - which creates electricity. They range from very small turbines supplying energy for battery charging systems (for example on boats or in homes), to turbines grouped on wind farms supplying electricity to the national grid.
Wind power helps the environment, because, it lasts for as long as the planet Earth is around. Wind power does not pollute the wind, it can be used almost anywhere it can be hooked up to an electrical outlet, and there are many ways to harness wind power: Offshore, onshore, tall wind turbines (hundreds of feet tall), short wind turbines (tens of feet tall), wind turbines on rooftops, airborne wind turbines and wind turbines that are built by do it yourself people. Wind power does not kill as many bats or birds as anti wind power turbine people claim, and it is not that noisy.

Is wind power effective?
The effectiveness of wind power depends on where the wind power is coming from. Certain locations with a lot of wind are deemed effective at supplying wind power.
How does the wind help humans?
Wind generates power. It creates and moves weather systems along and by using it to generate power, the use of fossil fuels that are destroying Earth's atmosphere can be eliminated.
Are wind power and wind energy the same?
Yes, wind power and wind energy are the same things.
How is wind energy being used?
Wind energy is being used to power our homes, charge our mobile phones, contact friends and family by using a telephone. Wind energy is being used for everything we need power for, did this help ? haha i think not.
How many watts of wind power does it take to turn a large wind turbine?
Wind power isn't measured in watts. It takes a certain amount of wind to spin the blades. They can turn the angle of the wind turbine blades to help catch the wind. I beileve the wind has to be at least 30km an hour but i could be wrong. There are lots of places to look that up on the internet. Wikipedia has a fairly good article on wind power. If the wind is going too fast, the often shut down the turbines because they are built to withstand a certain pressure. If the wind is too high (which sometimes happens in Southern Alberta, Canada), they risk destroying the turbines. Watts are a measure of electrical power, not wind power.
Does wind power help us?
yes
Will wind power be used in the future?
even thorough we use wing power today to help us humans get power, we wil still use wind power in the future
How could you use wind patterns to travel all the way around earth?
wind power has been used to move ships with the help of trade winds and anti- trade wind wind power has been used to move ships with the help of trade winds and anti- trade wind
How does using wind power help the reuse reduce recycle program?
It really doesn't help recycling. That said, wind power does reduce air pollution and fossil fuel consumption that are caused by conventional power plants.
Does wind power contribute to any pollution or does it help?
In reality wind power actually helps to cut down pollution, not by much but it's something.
How will wind energy help the US?
Wind power is an important form of renewable energy. Wind power converts the energy of wind into electricity. In order to reduce the pressure on fossil fuel consumption, renewable energy is a must.
Is wind harmful to the environment?
wind can help power our homes with electricity. It is good, because we are using an environmental-friendly source of electricity.
Is wind power effective?
The effectiveness of wind power depends on where the wind power is coming from. Certain locations with a lot of wind are deemed effective at supplying wind power.
What does t Boone Pickens say about wind power?
You can look at Wikipedia. If that is any help.
How does wind power help us with globol worming?
More wind power (and more of some other renewable energy sources) means we would use less fossil fuels.
How does the wind help humans?
Wind generates power. It creates and moves weather systems along and by using it to generate power, the use of fossil fuels that are destroying Earth's atmosphere can be eliminated.
Can people decrease dependence on fossil fuels?
Wind power, Wind Power, WIND POWER!
