When the sun shines, it heats the Earth. Heating on the Earth's surface is uneven. Some areas heat up more than others. The atmosphere in warmer regions rises and a colder atmosphere rushes in to fill the void. This creates wind. Wind turbines, similar to windmills, are used to convert wind into electricity. The wind turns the blades of the wind turbine, which turn a shaft connected to a generator and which produces electricity. A small wind turbine produces enough energy for a house. In the image on the left you see how wind energy reaches your house. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the air into electrical energy to produce electricity. First, the electricity produced by wind power leaves the generator on underground wires and/or on land power lines. This high-voltage electrical energy is transported across the country via a national network of transmission lines. Before the electricity dies, it goes down to 120 volts where it can operate the appliances in your home. After that, you will be able to use your home's electricity. You might think that transporting wind-generated electricity to another location is a long way. In some cases, the wind turbine does not need to travel very far to your home, as anyone can build a wind turbine on their property. Advantages and disadvantages As long as the sun shines, there will be wind on Earth. We will never run out of wind power. It is also free, since no one can own the sun or the air. Wind is a clean energy source and, overall, its use for energy purposes has fewer environmental impacts than the use of many other energy sources. Wind turbines are an excellent choice for converting wind into electricity. They do not release emissions that pollute the environment of paper bins now; Offshore wind turbines. Although they can disrupt wildlife, be expensive, and require a lot of research, I think it's a great idea. As I said before, they work most of the time and provide a lot of electricity from natural resources. I care about wildlife, the cost and people's complaints. First of all, the wind turbine can be placed at a great distance to reduce the visual impact from the ground. Second, noise is said to be a problem and disrupts wildlife. Well, people have studied and created turbines with lower noises. We can also research and plan a place where there are fewer animals and it doesn't affect much. Finally, wind turbines are not the only machines that "make noise" on the sea. Ships, boats, engines and all other noisy machines have been used for a long time now, so I wondered why it had become a problem now..
