The wind turbine gives us energy when the wind turns the blades that spin a shaft and then the shaft. The shaft is connected to a generator that gives us electricity.
Texas has the biggest wind energy capacity in the united states. In Rhode island they are building wind turbines in the ocean. It will be the first in water wind turbines.
Pros Of Wind Energy:
Does not use fossil fuels
Does not give out pollution
It is renewable
High efficiency
Cons Of Wind Energy
A lot of money
Could kill or hurt animals
Expensive to install
Limited location to build
I think the Pros overpower the cons and wind turbines should be built more in the future because it can help decrease pollution and we will need to use less fossil fuels.
