Wind Energy:
Wind energy is a form of solar energy, created by circulation pattern in the Earth’s atmosphere that is driven by heat from the sun. As the air flows past the rotor of a wind turbine, the rotor spins and drives the shaft of an electric generator. People have made use of wind energy for thousands of years. The energy that the wind contains can either be used directly or it can be converted into that high-value, highly flexible and useful form of energy we call electricity. The advantage of this wind energy is that we can generate more electricity and the wind is totally free so it is cheap. If we generate more electricity, then we can use more and in fact, we can get electricity at very cheap rate. According to my knowledge, there are no disadvantages for this wind energy. Only one thing, the generator and rotors are expensive to generate electricity so individuals can’t afford it; only electric companies like ComEd can afford. This electricity helps resid...
