Why is it correct to say wind energy and solar energy are related?
solar energy creates high pressure systems that come from the poles high pressure systwms cause wind that blows from the North. they are global winds. We use global winds to make wind energy so it is correct to say that wind energy and solar energy are related
Are windmills wind energy?
Windmills are not wind energy but if put in use it can create energy from the wind it gets so its called wind energy but all the energy is retained by the windmill... Easily enought "NO"
How do wind turbines create energy if there is no wind?
They don't, there are brakes in the nacelle which is a part of the wind turbine. When there is no wind the brakes are on so that the rotors don't turn. In other words TURBINES DON'T MAKE ENERGY WHEN THERE IS NO WIND. They only produce power when the wind is between 14 and 28 mph.
How is wind energy easily renewed?
Wind energy is renewed when the wind starts blowing and the turbines start spinning. since wind energy is renewable you don't have to worry about it running out-as long as the wind blows- so as long as the wind blows, wind energy will always be renewed
Why were wind turbines created?
So that we would have yet another source of renewable energy... Wind Edit: I'm assuming it came from Windmills to ground corn or whatever to make flour. People found out how to convert the kinetic energy into eletrical energy. Wind is a rewnewable source of energy. Why not use the wind to it's advantage without harming the environment?
Why are water wind and the sun good sources of energy?
It is a good source because there is so much of it.
What type of energy is associated with wind?
Wind is moving air. So it contains kinetic energy

How is wind power used to make elecricity?
Wind is caused by huge convection currents in the Earth's atmosphere, driven by heat energy from the Sun. The moving air has huge amounts of kinetic energy, and this can be transferred into electrical energy using wind turbines. Wind turbines cannot work if there is no wind, or if the wind speed is so high it would damage them.
What is the difference between wind energy and wind turbines?
. Wind energy is the energy taken from the wind that makes the rotor blade of the wind turbine to rotate, so that an alternator coupled to it can generate electricity. Wind turbine is a huge apparatus designed to transform wind energy into electricity.
How is wind energy easily renewed?
Wind energy is renewed when the wind starts blowing and the turbines start spinning. since wind energy is renewable you don't have to worry about it running out-as long as the wind blows- so as long as the wind blows, wind energy will always be renewed
Why are energy wind mills so high up in the air?
so they get more wind

Is wind energy cheap or expensive?
wind energy is only air but wind mills and wind turbins are about 5m to 10m dollars... so yes they are expensive.
Why is wind energy so controversial?
east
