Sustainable+Energy-Wind+Turbines

 **Sustainable Energy: Wind Turbines**

 =Wind Turbine Industry: =

Wind has been used as a resource for several hundred years. Some of the earliest example include windmills that crushed grains on a farm or moved water from a well. In the 20th century scientists began experimenting with wind and its ability to produce electricity by forcing large blades to turn an electrical turbine and generate usable energy. What’s trending in the industry:

  -People are being forced to find renewable energy resources to help protect non-renewable resources like oil and coal. -New technology is advancing the anchoring systems for wind turbines that will allow them to be used in deep ocean environments that have potential to generate large amounts of electricity.

Possible Wind Energy Applications:

-Fulfill commercial energy needs. -Fulfill the electrical needs of people in rural areas whose climate permits for adequate wind. -Use in conjunction with other renewable energy alternatives to lessen our reliance on non-renewable energy sources.
