Wind Energy 4
In ancient times wind energy was used for mills which shows that people were aware of the power of wind energy. As explained in the article “Advantages of Wind Energy” the wind mills are still being used as the best way to solve the energy problem leading which all the people of faraway villages use the low light generated by wind energy when it is late. (2009 June, para. 7). After scientists realized that wind energy can be converted to electrical energy to circulate electricity widely, wind energy became popular in all over the world. Today, wind turbines are being used to produce electrical energy from wind energy. A wind turbine is a machine which has wings turning with wind in order to convert wind
