The wind turns two or three propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity. ]]> 2018-04-03 18:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/01jbryant/x5r1b21qatwn/wish/248241257 01jbryant https://padlet.com/01jbryant/x5r1b21qatwn/wish/248242558 2018-04-03 18:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/01jbryant/x5r1b21qatwn/wish/248242558 01jbryant https://padlet.com/01jbryant/x5r1b21qatwn/wish/248242899 2018-04-03 18:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/01jbryant/x5r1b21qatwn/wish/248242899 Cost of the wind turbine 01jbryant https://padlet.com/01jbryant/x5r1b21qatwn/wish/248242976 Overall the cost of a wind turbine is rather expensive, but overtime is very cheap to have with little to no maintenance. ]]> 2018-04-03 18:05:51 UTC https://padlet.com/01jbryant/x5r1b21qatwn/wish/248242976 Advantages of Wind Energy 01jbryant https://padlet.com/01jbryant/x5r1b21qatwn/wish/248243820 1. Renewable and undepletable energy. 
2. Emits no harmful toxins or gases into the atmosphere or environment.
