Many countries in Europe produce electricity from wind turbines, including Germany, Spain, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Great Britain, Austria, Sweden, Greece, Portugal, France. At present, leading countries in this respect are Germany, Spain and Denmark, others such as Great Britain and France are catching up rapidly. Politics in these countries is currently supporting considerable increases of installed wind capacities on a short-term (until around 2010) and mid-term (until around 2020) notice. Note: 'Paying' might not be the essential point here. Setting up the political conditions to steer investments (e.g. a tax structure supporting renewable instead of fossile energies) as well as the increasingly established technology and market of wind turbines are making wind energy more and more profitable in Europe.

Wind energy is made by spinning turbines. The wind spins the wind turbines and they generate energy.


What do wind turbines convert the winds energy into a rotational energy called?

Wind turbines convert the energy of the wind into rotational energy known as mechanical energy.


Is wind electrical energy?

Wind is not electrical energy itself, but it can be harnessed to create electrical energy through technologies like wind turbines. Wind turbines use the kinetic energy of the wind to spin turbines, which then generate electricity through a generator.


How reliable is wind turbines?

wind turbines are very reliable in production of wind energy which in turn helps in the production of electrical energy


Is wind energy created by wind tubines?

Yes, wind energy is created by wind turbines. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy by spinning a generator. This renewable energy source is harnessed to generate electricity for various applications.


How do you access wind energy?

Wind energy can be accessed by installing wind turbines in locations with strong and consistent winds. These turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical power. Wind farms are often built in open, elevated areas to maximize energy production.


What countries use wind energy?

Europe and the united states uses the greatest amount of wind energy


How do Wind turbines capture wind?

Wind turbines have blades that rotate when the wind blows, converting the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then converted into electricity by a generator inside the turbine. The turbine's orientation and design help to maximize the capture of wind energy.


Do wind turbines use renewable sources of energy?

yes wind is a renewable source of energy and that is what turbines use


What regions on earth utilize wind energy?

Most regions. Concentrations are in Northern Europe (Denmark gets 40% of their electricity from wind turbines).
