As water flows through these containers it is heated. This heated water can be used for pool water, shower water or to heat homes. If the water is heated long enough it will boil, producing steam. This steam can be used to turn a turbine, which can produce electricity. Wind Energy, like the sun, is virtually non-polluting.
Wind energy is used primarily to produce electricity.
This electricity can be used to power homes, schools, video games, etc. Wind energy is more efficient in some parts of the country than others, because some parts of the country are windier than others. As wind technology gets better and better, more and more places will be able to utilize the wind's ability to produce power. As wind passes through the blades of a wind machine, such as a windmill, it begins to spin. This in turn spins an engine called a turbine.
