Wind Power - Page 9

Wind power is the process of generating electricity using the kinetic energy of wind. This is typically achieved with the use of wind turbines, which convert the motion of wind into mechanical energy, and subsequently into electrical energy. Wind power is a renewable energy source, meaning it relies on natural wind patterns and does not deplete finite resources. It is considered environmentally friendly, as it produces no direct greenhouse gas emissions during operation and has a relatively small land footprint compared to other forms of energy generation. Wind power has gained prominence as a significant contributor to the global energy mix, especially as the demand for clean and sustainable energy sources increases.
