What is Wind?
Wind is the stabilizing of areas of high and low atmospheric pressure, created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surfaces: land, water, and air. The greater the pressure difference between these areas, the harder the wind blows. Wind also exists as the circulation of air around a high or low pressure area.
Roscoe Texas
Large, rural, windy areas such as mountain and ridge tops, mesas, plains, and mountain passes are best for wind farms.
Wind Farms
can be land based, like Spain. can be offshore, like Denmark.
Conclusions
Wind Energy is a renewable resource that benefits the local communities (villages, towns, and cities) by providing people with jobs and clean electricity. Wind energy can decrease CO2 in the atmosphere and slow global warming! Countries can use this technology to help the environment and meet
