### power:

Wind power
* Most wind power uses energy.
* Some wind power reduces consumption.
* benefits public health, the environment and the economy.
* can provide an important economic boost to farmers.
* clean energy source that can be relied on for the long-term future.
* consumes no fuel, and emits no air pollution, unlike fossil fuel power sources.
* continues to be the fastest growing source of new power.
* converts mechanical energy.
* creates more jobs than any other type of power generation
  - no pollution, has no fuel cost and is infinitely renewable
* depends on wind to keep electricity going.
* determines the amount of electricity that can be produced annually.
* draws energy from the naturally occurring breezes of the earth.
* eliminates the risks of price spikes common with fossil fuel.
* emits no pollution and has little impact on the land
  - very little impact on the land
  - at all
* growing industry in the United States.
* has no routine emissions and no long-lived radioactive wastes, for instance
  - the highest rate of growth of any electrical energy producer
* is also a regional solution of limited capacity
  - among the cheapest of the renewable energy sources
  - alternative energy
* is an economical resource today compared to purchases of power on the wholesale market
  - ideal source of renewable energy
  - another ancient energy source that has moved into the modern era
  - clean, but the voltage is unstable because of the fluctuations in wind speed
* is considered a renewable energy source
  - to be renewable energy
  - derived from the conversion of the energy contained in wind into electricity
  - especially popular in Europe
  - generated through the use of a turbine, usually mounted on a tower
  - less practical even than solar
* is more available during certain seasons because climatic conditions affect wind speed
  - labor intensive than fossil fuel or nuclear source of energy
* is now cost-competitive with fossil fuel energy sources
  - one of the fastest growing forms of renewable energy in the Midwest
  - real, practical, reliable and affordable, and growing quickly around the world
  - set to become an important means of generating electricity worldwide
  - the cleanest form of renewable energy
* is the fastest growing energy source in the world
  - new energy source in the world
  - source of energy in the world
  - main source of energy
  - one energy source that is pollution free
* is the world's fastest growing energy source
  - fastest-growing energy source
  - thus proportional to the third power of the wind velocity
* is used in northern communities
  - where large flat expanses of land allow large wind speeds to accumulate
* measure of the energy available in the wind.
* produces minimal amounts of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas.
* produces no air emissions
  - carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide or nitrous oxide emissions
  - toxic pollution or global warming emissions in use
* proven technology and has been used to generate electricity for many years.
* reduces global warming
  - the cost of electricity, creates jobs, and is good for our environment
* reliable, affordable and pollution-free source of energy.
* renewable, low-carbon footprint energy supply option.
* requires conditions
  - storage batteries which are toxic when disposed of
  - weather conditions
* saves natural resources.
* suffers from the same lack of energy density as direct solar radiation.
* uses energy from the moving air to turn large blades on windmills
  - moving air as a source of energy
  - the natural force of the air currents to turn turbines
* varies with time, but in a different way.
