You can find this energy being used in the United States, China, India, Germany, Denmark and other European countries.


==Wind blows then the wind turns the turbine to make electricity. Wind power is alternative to fossil fuel and produces no greenhouse gas. Wind is caused by differences in pressure. for thousands of years people have captured the tremendous energy of wind power to move ships, grind grains, and to pump water from underground. today we use wind energy from the force of moving air, now the newer turbine generate electricity. Wind turbines came from the old wind mills. The turbines have computers inside of them so they could tell you how much energy it produces over a long period of time. To supply electricity to an area, hundreds of windmills are built on a "wind farm." Wind farms are built and produces electricity in California, Hawaii, New Hampshire, and many different states. Other countries such as Denmark and Germany, also use wind farms to supply electricity to some of their cities. You could find wind turbines on land and in the middle of a body of water. Although the wind energy is clean and renewable, it has drawbacks. it depends on steady, strong wind blowing most of the time, which are found only in a few places. Wind turbines are 25-45 meters high. The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity. ==
