I see a really old turbine.
I think it does not pollute the air.
I wonder what people think of it

I Think that is good because because it help us

Wind energy is not reliable because it is not always windy however it is good because it does not pollute the earth while the wind is blowing.

Air energy dosen't pollute and it helps us breath. This is a tur

I wonder it will be very good for nature and give energy

I see an old turbine in the desert producing wind energy.

I think Wind energy is really Good for our planet!!!!!!
It helps nature without big gas coming out of it.
🌱🌱🔋🔋💡💡

I see:
an old wind turbine.
I think:  that power up a water pump that suck the water from the pond with out polluting the air.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this tipe of way ti make energy si the more useful and less poluting

# data[].attributes.body
Wind energy does not pollute but its limit is that it is possible only in windy countries and areas.

# data[].attributes.body
It produces s helpful because it is clean renewable and reliable and also it is done through a quick process on a weel and from normal water it becomes hydro energy.

This is an old style wind turbine. I think it is turning water in that little structure to create energy.  Unlike fossil fuels, wind energy itself does not pollute the air, although I can imagine that making wind turbines could cause pollution, but its worth it because they last for a very long time.  I wonder how much energy it can produce in a day and what it can power.

I see a turbine
I think it devo the electrical energy

I think this is a good way to use energy because it doesn't pollute

# data[].attributes.body
We think that it is good because it uses natural energy.

# data[].attributes.body
It’s a free enrgy, this energy is all around the world, in every country they use it.

I see a turbine
I think it get wind and transformed in energy

# data[].attributes.body
i think wind energy is energy that wind give us, we get this energy by  wind turbines because the wind move the flaps and the turbine creates energy
in my opinion wind turbines are great for the inviorment because they don't pollute the air and because we are reusing energy

# data[].attributes.body
I see a wind turbine. It has been made to use wind energy to make electrical energy. In my opinion it is good to use it and it helps all us because it makes clean energy and it is endless.

Wind is air in motion. It is produced by the uneven heating of the earth's surface by the sun. Since the earth's surface is made of various land and water formations, it absorbs the sun's radiation unevenly. When the sun is shining during the day, the air over landmasses heats more quickly than the air over water. The warm air over the land expands and rises, and the heavier, cooler air over water moves in to take its place, creating local winds. At night, the winds are reversed because the air cools more rapidly over land than over water.

Similarly, the large atmospheric winds that circle the earth are created because the surface air near the equator is warmed more by the sun than the air over the North and South Poles. Wind is called a renewable energy source because wind will continually be produced as long as the sun shines on the earth. Today, wind energy is mainly used to generate electricity.

Wind turbines

Windmills work because they slow down the speed of the wind. The wind flows over the airfoil shaped blades causing lift, like the effect on airplane wings, causing them to turn. The blades are connected to a drive shaft that turns an electric generator to produce electricity.

Today's wind machines are much more technologically advanced than those early windmills. They still use blades to collect the wind's kinetic energy, but the blades are made of fiberglass or other high-strength materials.

Modern wind machines are still wrestling with the problem of what to do when the wind isn't blowing. Large turbines are connected to the utility power network—some other type of generator picks up the load when there is no wind. Small turbines are sometimes connected to diesel/electric generators or sometimes have a battery to store the extra energy they collect when the wind is blowing hard.

Types of Windmills
Two types of wind machines are commonly used today, the horizontal–axis with blades like airplane propellers and the vertical–axis, which looks like an egg-beater:

1) Horizontal-axis wind machines are more common because they use less material per unit of electricity produced. About 95 percent of all wind machines are horizontal-axis. A typical horizontal wind machine stands as tall as a 20-story building and has three blades that span 200 feet across. The largest wind machines in the world have blades longer than a football field! Wind machines stand tall and wide to capture more wind.

The main elements of Horizontal-axis wind machines are:

2) Vertical-axis wind machines make up just five percent of the wind machines used today. The typical vertical wind machine stands 100 feet tall and 50 feet wide.

Each wind machine has its advantages and disadvantages. Horizontal-axis machines need a way to keep the rotor facing the wind. This is done with a tail on small machines. On large turbines, either the rotor is located downwind of the tower to act like a weather vane, or a drive motor is used. Vertical-axis machines can accept wind from any direction.

Both types of turbine rotors are turned by air flowing over their wing shaped blades. Vertical-axis blades lose energy as they turn out of the wind, while horizontal-axis blades work all the time. At many sites, the wind increases higher above the ground, giving an advantage to tall horizontal-axis turbines. The small tower and ground-mounted generators on vertical-axis turbines make them cheaper and easier to maintain.

Wind & the Environment

In the 1970s, oil shortages pushed the development of alternative energy sources. In the 1990s, the push came from a renewed concern for the environment in response to scientific studies indicating potential changes to the global climate if the use of fossil fuels continues to increase. Wind energy offers a viable, economical alternative to conventional power plants in many areas of the country. Wind is a clean fuel; wind farms produce no air or water pollution because no fuel is burned.

The most serious environmental drawbacks to wind machines may be their negative effect on wild bird populations and the visual impact on the landscape. To some, the glistening blades of windmills on the horizon are an eyesore; to others, they're a beautiful alternative to conventional power plants.

I think: it look interesting
I wonder: what would those people think of it?
In my opinion: it could work to fulfill our energy needs
