2. * Different ways to use wind power * Theoretical possibilities * Who uses wind power? * A few pros

3. * Wind * Gas particles move quickly * Motion = kinetic energy * Wind-electric turbine * Blades capture kinetic energy * Move * Spin shaft between hub and generator * Generator turns rotational energy into electricity

4. * Is wind energy efficient enough? * How much can be generated then? * Powering houses * Cost efficiency

5. * Wind as a renewable energy source in Holland * Wind farms in Holland * Offshore wind farms

7. * Wind energy in Europe * Largest wind farms in the world

9. * Health issues * Animals could be affected * Wind directions

10. * Different forms and sizes * Very pricy

11. * No pollution/radioactive waste. Construction + installation has less environmental impact. * No need for supplies like fuel. When power lines break, wind power won’t lose supply of electricity. * Can generate power for a large amount of households * No use of non-renewable resources like coal, gas or oil. Won’t contribute to eventual thinning of these resources or environmental harm by using these. * Renewable  unlimited. Comes from nuclear fusion on the sun  when sun keeps shining, we have wind energy on earth. Fossil fuels run out. * Can be done on most places (some more preferable than others) * Prices are decreasing and have decreased * People can produce it themselves at home, and companies can do this too and some even sell it * Works together easily with other renewable energy methods like solar panels and geothermal heating

12. * Some people have the opinion that wind turbines are destroying the view because they are so tall and noticeable * Wind turbines can be damaged in thunderstorms (lightning), because of their tall shape, and when they need to be repaired it costs a lot of money * Birds can be killed when they fly between the blades of a wind turbine * Wind turbines can make noise, especially when there isn’t much wind * Wind is unpredictable, so wind energy is not reliable enough for a base load of energy. Therefore, wind energy must always be used together with other energy supplies * The projects to set up wind farm cost very much money, is this worth it and does it pay back? * Wind turbines do not (always) suit in the view/environment
