Wind turbines add power to the grid, so some of the power in your house came from wind farms. The City of Calgary AB wanted it's light rail system to be green so they budgeted enough wind turbines to generate power to run the system. there is no direct connection to the wind farm, but the farm adds more power to the grid than the trains remove.

What does wind turbines do?
A wind turbines uses the wind to power an electricity generator.
Are small wind turbines an effective source of wind power?
Small wind turbines are an effective source of wind power, but a single turbine will generate power only when the wind hits it at a specific angle and strength. This is why multiple wind turbines are often used at a single site, to pick up different gusts of wind.
How do wind turbines use wind power?
energy water
How many wind turbines needed to power us?
About 1 million wind turbines would be needed to power the entire United States.

How does wind power help?
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.

How is wind power obatained?
Turbines :D
What are wind towers and what is its use?
Wind towers uses the power of the wind to propel the blades of the turbines. The turbines cause the rotation of magnets, which creates energies.
What are some remote power sources?
wind turbines
How are wind power and hydroelectric power similar?
They both use turbines.
Why are people turning to wind turbines?
People are turning to Wind Turbines these day because they are finding that they are economically safer and that their cattle are ignoring the power stations.People are turning to wind turbines because it helps in the generation of power which is cost-effective and helps to cut energy bills. A wind turbine can also be setup in an area near you...Hence people are turning to wind turbines.
