Wind Power

The natural element of Wind is important today as we look for alternative energy sources. Wind power is created when the wind energy converts to other forms of energy like electricity, fuel, and power. Wind power can be created using wind turbines, wind mills, wind pumps, wind farms. The U.S. Department of Energy’s recent study on Wind Power found that the U.S. market for wind power additions had a record breaking year in 2009 with $21 billion in investments in new wind power projects “and enough capacity to power the equivalent of 2.4 million homes.”
