How is wind energy havested?
Wind energy is harvested by a windmill. It is also called a turbine. Windmills have been connected to machinery to grind grain or pump water. They are also connected to electric generators. The electricity is sent to a grid. Sometimes the electricity is used as it is produced. If a hydroelectric dam is nearby, the electricity can be used to back pump water and then hydroelectric energy is available when it is needed. That way wind energy is stored.
What are some advantages and disadvantages of using wind energy to create electricity?
The advantage is that wind is renewable- it does not get used up. Disadvantages- the wind does not always blow, it does not blow at a constant speed, and it does not always blow where electricity is needed. It can be costly to generate and store electricity from wind energy.
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).
Where do they store wind energy?
Wind energy can be stored in a variety of ways. One common method is by using batteries to store excess energy generated by wind turbines when the demand for electricity is low. Another method is through pumped-storage hydropower, where excess wind energy is used to pump water to a higher elevation, and then the water is released to generate electricity when more power is needed. Additionally, some wind farms are connected to the electrical grid and feed their excess energy back into the system for use by others.
What provides the energy needed to create winds in the atmosphere and currents in the oceans?
The sun is the original source of energy for such winds and currents.
What energy is needed to create electricity in a geothermal power plant?
The energy from earth is required. This energy is used to create electricity.

Energy transformations needed to use the electricity from chemical energy?
Battery?
What wind speed is needed to generate electricity?

What is needed to create mechanical energy?
This energy can be formed either from kinetic/movement energy or potential energy

Do solar panels require electricity?
Electricity is not required for solar panels to collect energy from the sun. However, some sort of device to collect and store the energy is needed for the energy to be useful.
What is needed on solar energy farms?
As long as they have the sun, they can generate electricity. So the Sun :)
What happens when solar panels store energy?
The energy is converted into electricity to power your home or any appliances needed in voltage
Where is nuclear energy needed?
It is needed if we are to continue to increase electricity production, without using more coal and other fossil fuels
What method of generating electrical energy results in electricity that is easily distributed to where it is needed when it is needed?
using coal-fired power plants
