Why Wind Energy?
Wind energy is a clean, renewable source of power that can help reduce reliance on fossil fuels, curb greenhouse gas emissions, and combat climate change. Harnessing the power of the wind through turbines transforms natural airflow into usable electricity.
How Does Wind Energy Work?
Wind turbines capture the energy from wind by using aerodynamic blades to transform the wind's kinetic energy into mechanical power. This mechanical power is then converted into electricity through a generator.
