BrendanB - Wind

How do we harvest the energy?

Wind turns the two or three spokes on the turbine. those make the rotor work. The rotor is connected to the Main shaft which spins a generator which makes energy.

Pros:

• It gives no pollution

• saves fossil fuels

• least expensive source of electric power

Con:

• Wind doesn’t always blow

• limited location value power storage is limited

• it’s still expensive

Opinion about using this energy source in future

I think we will need wind power more because it uses no pollution so it could help us benefit so our world isn’t entirely
