Wind turbine

Here's some info that i've learned about the wind turbine: i know that it uses the power of wind to generate electricity, it one of te few eco friendly sources of electricity that we have, and that it doesn't generate much electricity. The reason why it doesn't generate much electricity is because the wind doesn't blow as fast as the turbine needs to be able to turn very often. Unlike gas and nuclear energy wind power is a clean source of electricity, it doesn't put any pollutants in the air or harm the earth. The way that the wind turbine works is the wind hits the propellers, which causes them to turn thus charging a generator located at the top of the turbine. There are two different types of wind turbines, Horizontal axis and vertical. The horizontal turbine is said to be more efficient in producing electricity. The vertical turbine requires alot more power to work.
