=Wind Power= is a growing field in energy conservation and production. It works by converting wind to electricity. It will help us in the future with our disappearing fossil fuels. With gases heating up our planet wind power is a great alternative. With a sharp increase of windmills and turbines in the past eight year people are clearly getting behind wind power and its benefits. **Electricity will never be the same!**

=HOW IT WORKS= Wind Power is used by the sun not distributing energy equally to all spots on the Earth. This is especially true for areas with high altitudes. This creates **wind** which the turbines are able to turn into power. To do this many turbines need to be put in a single area creating a **WIND FARM. Here is a typical wind farm

Notice how there are multiple turbines all with different elevations! The bigger the turbine the more energy it cacthes**

=ENVIORNMENTAL EFFECTS, NO CO2 MEANS GOOD FOR YOU!=

This statement by the Irish national grid says it all: "Producing electricity from wind reduces the consumption of fossil fuels and therefore leads to emissions savings". This means that we cn save fossil fuels and not be completely screwed for future generations.

It also has no **CO2 admissions** making it great for stopping the grennhouse effectand slowing global warming. **Nasty CO2**
 * It's renewable**

However **Wind Power takes up a great deal of land with large turbines.** This in turn can hurt the wild life around the turbines. **Don't hurt Birdy!

Many Critics believe that for the amount of spce it takes up wind power doesn't give enough power!**

=Wind Power... and the World= Wind power is only used for about 1% of the worlds energy But some places use it more than others US: 1%** 2ND LARGEST AMOUNT OF TURBINES
 * Denmark:** uses wind power for 19% of electricity **Most**
 * Germany:** uses it for 6%; **HAS LARGEST AMOUNT OF WIND TURBINES**
 * Spain and Portugal: 9%
