-Wind is free
-Turbines are good for the environment as they use a renewable source
-They can be set up in remote areas
-Once it has been completely set up, the cost of generating electricity is less (slideshare.net)

-Was used by sailboats to travel across the Nile River
-Windmills first made around 2000 B.C in ancient Babylon
-Windmills with wind-catching surfaces early as 10th century for grinding grain in in eastern Iran and Afghanistan
-Working wind machines from 12th century for milling grain 
-Few centuries later, windmills modified to pump water in The Netherlands.
-farm windmill made in 19th century USA
-Rail routes dependent on windmills to pump water for locomotives until diesel engine invention 
-Only 50 domestic wind turbine manufacturers in the 70's.
-Wind farms began in the 80's]]> 2016-05-19 17:08:42 UTC https://padlet.com/farisyusuf/je9tr5ncolk9/wish/111715540 farisyusuf https://padlet.com/farisyusuf/je9tr5ncolk9/wish/111724736 -Wind power can be used by windmills to grind grain and flour
-It may be used to pump water
-can be converted into electricity for many purposes

-Large potential, has 20 times more than the populations needs
-Renewable
-Largest of wind turbines can generate power for 600 US homes
-Wind power is growing very rapidly at 25% per year
-Prices have been decreasing and are expected to stay that way
-low operational costs
-protects home owners from power outage
Cons:
-Wind is intermittent, therefore not suited to meet the base of load energy demand 
-requires a large investment
-can be a threat to wildlife 
-Noisy
-their looks concern for some people
