=**What is the Problem???**= Isn't it obvious, the world is running out of our fossil fuels and soon enough we will run the earth dry of everything that she has. We as citizens of the world, have to come together to figure out what we can do to make sure that Earth is plentiful for our grandchildren and generations more after we depart this Earth. Right now we are burning gasoline and oil at a rate that will dry up the wells much too soon. Our ozone layer is dissolving every day, Ice caps are melting, Fresh water is becoming scarce all around the globe.

=Mother Nature's Gift= WIND!!!

One of the four stages of water transportation and energy, wind has been an ally of Man for hundreds of years. We have tried to harness the wind for sailing vessels to transport humans to all vast destinations on the globe. Within the past century we have learned to harness the power of the wind to be used for renewable energy. Wind turbines harness the forces of the wind to generate electricity. It is a clean 0% CO2 emitting process, which has grown by more than 25% in growth every year over the past decade. However wind power only represents a small fraction of the worlds energy producing methods. As we smarten up and realize that as long as the sun shines, wind will be here, we will be apt to increase the number of wind farms all over the world for 100% clean renewable energy.

The concept of how a wind turbine works is rather simple. When the sun heats the air withing our atmosphere, the warm air rises and loses pressure by expanding. The the cold air surrounding the warm air swoops in and because it is more dense, it is heavier. The cold air rushes to the area's of the warmer air to balance the pressure and equalize the difference in pressure. Simply put, the air moves from area's of high pressure to low pressure, thus creating wind.
