Title: Wind Turbines as a Source of Energy
Topic: Describe Wind Turbines along with benefits and downfalls
Purpose Statement: To persuade why wind turbines have more benefits than coal, geothermal, or water 
Thesis: Wind turbines, as a growing renewable energy source, are affecting globally generated power through various advantages and disadvantages.
Introduction Paragraph 
 •Attention-getter: Smog created by coal remissions, cloud cover creates unreliable use of solar energy, and the often inconvenient location of hydroelectric energy. Each of these factors show the major drawbacks of these energy sources, but could wind energy be the answer to many people’s questions for the future of our energy for not only the United States, but also for the entire globe. 
 •Preview the topic and purpose: First, I will breeze through the basic benefits of wind energy as opposed to fossil fuels. Next, I will explain you how wind energy can out due geothermal energy. Finally, I will stream through the gain in using wind energy rather than hydroelectric energy. I believe that wind energy is a vital renewable energy source with benefits that far outweigh the drawbacks of competing energy sources. 
I.   Wind Turbines vs. Fossil Fuels
 A. Harmful emissions (Lloyd, D. (2014, December 11)
 B. Destructive (Rinkesh. (2018)
 C. Renewability 
II. Wind Turbines vs. Geothermal Energy
 A. Sustainability (U.S. Department of Energy. (2015, January).
 B. Location/Space (Geothermal Energy (2018).
C. Cost
III. Wind Turbines vs. Hydroelectricity 
 A. Limited Sources

Conclusion Paragraph 
 First, I breezed through the basic benefits of wind energy as opposed to fossil fuels. Next, I explained you how wind energy can out due geothermal energy. Finally, I streamed through the gain in using wind energy rather than hydroelectric energy. I believe that wind energy is a vital renewable energy source with benefits that far outweigh the drawbacks of competing energy sources. Wind turbines, as a growing renewable energy source, are affecting globally generated power through various advantages and disadvantages and will continue to influence the energy of our growing planet.
