Is Wind Energy MORE Destructive to the Environment than Coal Power Plants? Wind Energy from Turbines and Large Windmills: Pros and Cons

Are Wind Farms WORSE than Coal Plants? Wind Turbines Pollution, Petroleum, Bird Death, Landfills

Air has mass, and when it moves, i.e. when the wind blows, it contains the energy of that motion, kinetic energy.   A portion of that energy can be converted into other forms, such as mechanical force or electricity, that we can use to perform work. Mechanical energy from wind is commonly used for pumping water in rural or remote places.  The farm windmill is still a familiar sight in many rural areas.

Mechanical energy converted from wind can also be used for other purposes, such as sawing logs, grinding grain, and propelling sailboats. By contrast, wind powered electric turbines generate electricity for homes and businesses, and for sale to utilities.
