Wind energy is a source of renewable power that is derived from the winds that move across the surface of the Earth. Wind turbines are able to harvest this energy source and convert it to power that can be used to provide electricity. Wind energy is said to be “green” because it produces energy with no pollution or greenhouse gas emissions. Wind energy is also sustainable because it requires no additional forms of fuel as long as the wind keeps blowing.

While it’s true that wind power is not an available power generating source 100% of the time, it is an integral part of our energy independent future.
