Wind
By: Marianna Kalembasa and Izabella Cohn
How it is made
Wind is converted into mechanical power to produce wind energy.
Then from the mechanical power the generator is able to convert it into electricity.
A wind turbine work the opposite of a fan, instead of using electricity to produce wind, the wind turbines uses wind to produce electricity.
Advantages
Safe fuel alternative makes for less pollution and fresh air.
Wind cannot pollute the air and allows people to use other alternatives to fuel and gas such as wind and other solar energies.
Won’t run out of wind ever. Wind will always be around, which makes for a reliable energy source.
Wind is all around the world and is always there whether you feel it or not.
Cost Effectiveness
The cost of wind power is very low and stable. It doesn’t take much to get wind.
Wind creates no fuel costs so the price stays the same or stable over time.
Wind prices have decreased over the years since the early 2000’s.
Wind prices have seemed to stay the same even as other prices of fuel and electricity have risen.
Costs of wind are around $5.00 for every little bit of natural gas to 30.00 for every bit of electricity used.
