A wind turbine is a rotating fan which converts the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as a pump or grinding stones, the machine is usually called a windmill. If the mechanical energy is instead converted to electricity, the machine is called a wind generator, wind turbine, wind power unit (WPU), wind energy converter (WEC), or aerogenerator.
Residential Wind Power and other renewable forms of energy continue to 'gain traction' and become a viable alternative for more people. Is it time for you to consider your own Wind Turbine? Here are some reasons to switch now:
- Help break our country's dependence on coal.
- Non-renewable energy sources damage the environment. Think of global warming caused by burning coal, coal strip mining, hydro-electric plans flooding thousands of acres of natural habitat, and the dangerous storage of used nuclear fuel.
- Wind power can replace 40, 80, or 100% of your current electricity bill. You could pay for your new wind turbine in only a few months!
- As Wind Power has become more popular, there are more choices and prices are reflecting this supply.
