There was a time when electrical systems in homes were only required to power such items as lamps‚ ovens‚ and television. When today society and technology place a much greater demand on energy production. Scientists and engineers are engaged in ongoing research to develop alternative energy sources‚ innovative methods for meeting

Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form of energy‚ such as using: wind turbines to make electricity‚ windmills for mechanical power‚ wind pumps for water pumping or drainage‚ or sails to propel ships. A large wind farm may consist of several hundred individual wind turbines which are connected to the electric power transmission network. Offshore wind farms can harness more frequent and powerful winds than are available to land-based installations and have less visual impact

Renewable energy flows involve natural phenomena such as sunlight‚ wind‚ tides‚ plant growth (biomess) and geothermal heat. According to the International Energy Agency (2002)‚ “Renewable energy is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly. In its various forms‚ it derives directly from sun‚ or from heat generated deep within the earth. Included in the definition is electricity and heat generated from solar‚ wind‚ ocean‚ hydropower‚ biomass‚ geothermal resources‚ and biofuels and

This energy is distributed around the globe by winds‚ ocean currents‚ and other mechanisms to affect the climates of different regions.

There have been many different forms of development when it comes to renewable energy better known as reusable energy that come natural resources. There has been development of the sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ waves‚ and geothermal heat because they are naturally replenished at a constant rate.

As of about ten years ago energy sprawl must be heavily considered since the United States believes it is possible to reach a 20% overall energy production from wind by 2030‚ in order to meet that goal 186‚000 wind turbines must be built. Such a large amount of wind turbines that can be 328 feet tall would take up 25‚000 square
