The energy in 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.]]> 2018-04-13 13:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/brett_buckner1/yajagwzq07d4/wish/251539746 brett_buckner1 https://padlet.com/brett_buckner1/yajagwzq07d4/wish/251540229 From old Holland to farms in the United States, windmills have been used for pumping water or grinding grain. Today, the windmill's modern equivalent - a wind turbine - can use the wind's energy to generate electricity. Wind turbines, like windmills, are mounted on a tower to capture the most energy.]]> 2018-04-13 13:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/brett_buckner1/yajagwzq07d4/wish/251540229 brett_buckner1 https://padlet.com/brett_buckner1/yajagwzq07d4/wish/251540891 2018-04-13 13:29:21 UTC https://padlet.com/brett_buckner1/yajagwzq07d4/wish/251540891 brett_buckner1 https://padlet.com/brett_buckner1/yajagwzq07d4/wish/251541811 Wind energy doesn't pollute the air like power plants that rely on combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, which emit particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide—causing human healthproblems and economic damages.]]> 2018-04-13 13:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/brett_buckner1/yajagwzq07d4/wish/251541811 brett_buckner1 https://padlet.com/brett_buckner1/yajagwzq07d4/wish/251542961 Clean Air: Other sources of electricity produce harmful particulate emissions which contribute to global climate change and acid rain. Wind energy is pollution free. Negligible Greenhouse Gases: The sources of most of our power, coal and natural gas, produce large quantities of greenhouse gases]]> 2018-04-13 13:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/brett_buckner1/yajagwzq07d4/wish/251542961
