wind power

     

Win power is the conversion of wind energy into useful form, such as electricity, using wind turbines. In windmills, wind energy is directly used to crush grain or to pump water. At the end of 2007, worldwide capacity of wind-powered generators was 94.1 gigawatts. Although wind currently produces about 1% of world-wide electricity use, it accounts for approximately 19% of electricity production in Denmark, 9% in Spain and Portugal, and 6% in Germany and the Republic of Ireland (2007 data). Globally, wind power generation increased more than fivefold between 2000 and 2007.

Trivia about wind power

  • (Kelly of the Clue Crew gives the clue from Galapagos in Ecuador.) With its fragile ecosystem in danger from events like a 2001 oil tanker wreck, the Galapagos turned to energy sources like this; 3 turbines for it were installed in 2007
