Wind energy :

  1. The generation of wind takes place due to the uneven heating of the surface of the Earth.
  2. Wind has kinetic energy which is harnessed by wind turbines.

We are looking at wind as a source of energy now because :

  1. Wind energy, which harnesses wind power through turbines, is one of the cleanest and most sustainable forms of electricity generation.
  2. It can generate energy without emitting any pollutants or contributing to global warming.
  3. The land and animal impact of wind turbines is minimal.
