Although the amount of energy produced will depend on the weather. smillar774 https://padlet.com/wkerr7561/z8oqi1kblio2/wish/142749426 2016-12-09 09:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/wkerr7561/z8oqi1kblio2/wish/142749426 wind energy is produced by using a large wind turbine that usually consisting of propeller wind energy makes the propellers move and this makes enery which is collected and can be connected to a generator to generate electricity. elliciawylie https://padlet.com/wkerr7561/z8oqi1kblio2/wish/142750920 2016-12-09 09:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/wkerr7561/z8oqi1kblio2/wish/142750920 Wind energy is non-polluting because it uses natural fresh air and is a clean energy source. smillar774 https://padlet.com/wkerr7561/z8oqi1kblio2/wish/142751169 2016-12-09 09:58:56 UTC https://padlet.com/wkerr7561/z8oqi1kblio2/wish/142751169 2 disadvantages of wind energy dblair616 https://padlet.com/wkerr7561/z8oqi1kblio2/wish/142751434 1. It costs a lot of money maintain.
2. It can also be unreliable]]> 2016-12-09 10:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/wkerr7561/z8oqi1kblio2/wish/142751434 dblair616 https://padlet.com/wkerr7561/z8oqi1kblio2/wish/142752889 This shows a wind turbine and it is used to give electricity. One turbine can only power a few machines on a farm and that is why they make wind farms]]> 2016-12-09 10:08:56 UTC https://padlet.com/wkerr7561/z8oqi1kblio2/wish/142752889 Advantages of wind energy. elliciawylie https://padlet.com/wkerr7561/z8oqi1kblio2/wish/142753439 Less air and wind pollution.
Extra savings for land owners.
Reduces fossil fuel consumption.
Cleaner air]]> 2016-12-09 10:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/wkerr7561/z8oqi1kblio2/wish/142753439 wind energy also reduces global warming because in 2013 wind power reduced 132 million metric tons of carbon dioxide smillar774 https://padlet.com/wkerr7561/z8oqi1kblio2/wish/142753725 2016-12-09 10:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/wkerr7561/z8oqi1kblio2/wish/142753725 Interesting facts dblair616 https://padlet.com/wkerr7561/z8oqi1kblio2/wish/142754072 1. Wind energy is one of the most popular ALTERNATIVE ENERGIES.
2.Windmills were first developed in China and Persia
3. In 1997 wind energy only contributed 0.1% of the worlds electricity, this increased to 1.5% in 2008, then 2.5% in 2010
