The wind is caused by a combination of the Earth's rotation and the heat of the sun causing convection currents in the atmosphere.

Is wind power part of fossil fuel?

No, Wind power is a RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE


Is wind a fuel?

Yes, in the sense that it is an energy source which can be harnessed.


What is the fuel source in a wind power plant?

wind, and sometimes they have to use electricity to power the machines they use to make the windmills.


By-product of wind energy?

Wind energy is a very clean source of energy and there is no by product. It does not produce any harmful greenhouse gases. Wind power consumes no fuel.


How do wind turbines affect the cost of electricity?

Wind turbines consume no fuel therefore there is not the added cost of purchasing fuel to make them operate. Wind is a renable source because it's inexhaustable and always available. Wind power is the lowest-cost renewable energy technology available today.


What do coal and wind have in common?

Coal and wind are both sources of energy used to generate electricity. However, coal is a fossil fuel that is mined from the earth and burned to produce electricity, releasing greenhouse gases in the process. In contrast, wind energy is a renewable energy source that harnesses the power of wind to generate electricity through wind turbines, with no emissions.


What is wind fuel?

The wind fuel is one of the forms of renewable energy, in the process of creating wind fuel a generator connected to a propeller and which inturn is connected to a generator which generats power when the wind starts blowing. The power is then stored or relayed to a power plant where in it is stored and used in place of the regular power. Some other forms of renewable energy are Hydropower, Solar power.


Is wind energy a non-renewable source?

No, wind is a renewable energy source. The wind will always be blowing!


How does wind energy not use fossil fuels?

Wind is a natural phenomenon caused by large volumes of air moving as they are heated and cooled by the sun. It doesn't require any fuel to be burnt at all, as all energy comes form the sun. Actually wind ends up consuming a great deal of fossil fuel. The volume is ignored though to make wind seem green. Wind is a variable source of energy and our demand requires a constant source. As a result fossil fuel plants run behind wind systems and supply power during weaker wind moments. Only the wind power is considered and the idling plant is ignored in terms of CO2 output. This makes wind a very dirt power source. They typically produce about 5 to 8% of what is claimed they produce. A wind system that is claimed can power "up to 100 homes" typically can do less then 10.


Is wind a reneweble energy source or non reneweble energy source?

Wind energy is a renewable resource, as there will always be wind.
