How does wind energy work?
When the generator rotates it converts wind energy into electricity. The transformer increases the voltage for transmission to substation. Then substation increases voltage flr transmission over long distances. The the transmission goes to the grid.
How does wind energy affect the environment?
As many wind turbines are in rural locations, they may have a small effect on animal life. Access roads for servicing would have to be built. There has also been some talk of birds striking the blades of a turbine. The only other problem with wind turbines is people. Some people complain that they are an eye sore, or produce low frequency noise, which results in headaches.
