Wind Power

Wind or wind power is the use of wind to provide mechanical power by wind turbines to transform electrical generators and historically to do other work, such as friction or pumping. Wind power is a sustainable and renewable energy, and has a much smaller environmental impact compared to fossil fuel burning. Onshore wind is a cheap electricity source, comparable with or in certain cases cheaper than coal or gas plants. Onshore wind turbines often affect the environment, as they usually need to be spread over more land than other power stations. Wind is an intermittent source of energy that cannot produce electricity or be shipped on demand. It also provides variable power, which is consistent year after year but varies widely over shorter time scales. Therefore, to provide a stable supply, it must be used along with other electric power or storage sources. Wind power was widely available and not confined to, or later required sources of fuel, the banks of fast-flowing streams. Wind-powered pumps drained the polders of the Netherlands, and wind pumps provided water for livestock and steam engines in arid regions such as the American midwest or the Australian outback.
