The United States has more wind systems then anywhere else. They are mostly in windy areas. They provide us with less then 0 percent of our power needs when you add in the backup power plants that run while they turn. They are the largest scam ever to hit the planet. Under most reasonable situations, wind systems produce less power over their life, then they took to build them.

How much oil is saved by wind power in USA?
Wind power does not replace oil in most applications. Fuel plants supplement wind turbines in place of the older coal fired plants. Some minor amount of coal is saved through the use of wind though.
How do wind power plants work?
Wind power plants use wind turbines to convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical power. The rotating blades of the turbine spin a generator, which produces electricity. This electricity is then fed into the power grid for distribution to homes and businesses.
What does wind power plant mean?
A wind power plant is a facility that uses wind turbines to convert wind energy into electrical power. These plants harness the natural force of the wind to generate clean, renewable electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions. Wind power plants are a key component of the global transition to more sustainable energy sources.

What are some potential green alternatives to today's power plants?
Many green alternatives to today's power plants exist but have not been perfected. Some of the most popular forms include Geothermal energy, solar power, and wind power.
What fuel can electric power plants use as fuel?
The most common way power plants generate electricity is by burning coal. Some use"green" alternatives like solar power or wind power, but the most common is coal. There's a few out there that use nuclear power to generate electricity, but not that many.
How are wind turbines better than fossil fuel power plants?
The wind is free. And no pollution is created by a wind turbine.
Is solar power plant is better than wind power plant?
Yes, solar power plants are better than wind power plants. The reason is that wind power plants convert wind into electricity, but if there is no wind, wind power plants won't be able to do their job. Solar Power Plants use solar energy from our entire solar system. There is infinite solar energy in the solar system, so solar solar power plants are better. Solar and wind do not produce any real power in terms of our needs. Solar is the worst of the two by a small margin. Typical payback, in terms of energy used to create and maintain a solar panel is longer then the projected life of a panel. Winds worst issue is the needed fossil fuel plants running in the background. This power is completely wasted unless the wind stops or slows below the running speed of the turbine. Wind also stops generating power at speeds above 32 mph. The fossil fuel plant again will make up this loss. The better alternative is hydro then either of these that provide little or no power.
What is wind power replacing?
one of the things wind power is replacing water driven hydroturbines that generate electricity. Ultimately, if the proper power converters are produced, wind power can eliminate our need for petroleum based power plants.
What is the most common type of power plant?
The most common type of power plant is one that uses fossil fuels such as coal, oil or natural gas. Less common power plants use nuclear, geo-thermal, hydro-electric, wind, solar, or other power sources to run the plants.
What are the different types of electricity according to their sources?
Electricity produced from:Fossil power plants (Coal, natural gas, oil fueled power plants)Renewable power plants (solar, wind, biomass, ... )nuclear power plants
Where do you use wind energy today?
Today - Wind power plants-or "wind farms"-generate power across the US and Europe, and with continuing research and development, wind-generated electricity is comparable in cost to other power sources.
