Alternate Energy

The United States depends on fossil fuels, like oil and coal, for energy.
According to experts these sources will exhaust by the year 2050. Fossil fuels
also pollute the environment. So we need to search for alternative energy
sources which are reliable and renewable.


Wind power is the force of the wind harnessed by windmills and wind turbines
that convert it into electricity. Because wind is a clean and renewable source
of energy, modern wind turbines are being installed in many countries to
supplement more traditional sources of electric power, such as burning coal.
After the oil crisis of the 1970s, many countries launched programs to develop
modern wind turbines. While many of these programs failed, Denmark was
successful in developing one. Countries such as the United States have adopted
this technology to develop wind energy resources. Design improvements have
helped increase the world's wind energy generating capacity by nearly 150
percent si...
