wind energy
Electricity from air
Wind energy is power harnessed from moving air, typically through turbines that convert wind into electricity.
Wind farms cluster many turbines in windy locations—hilltops, plains, or offshore.
As a renewable energy source, wind energy has grown rapidly: The region now gets thirty percent of its electricity from wind energy.
