Let the wind turn the crank to produce electricy. Windfarms are now popping up and selling electricity to the grid at around 4 cents per KWH and costs are projected to lower.
Wind is the response of the atmosphere to uneven heating conditions.
This creates pressure differences in the atmosphere causing the wind to blow from regions of high atmospheric pressure to low atmospheric pressure. The larger the pressure difference the greater the wind velocity. Energy storage is probably more critical for wind power than for any other form of alternative energy. KILO watts per square meter which is 600 watts per square meter this is identical to average solar power per square meter at our latitude. You only need to know the v 3 to do this.
