Why we should capture Wind Energy As the United States, we have the second most installed wind potential, behind China. As the United States, we have the second most installed wind potential, behind China. The US wind potential is 37 Peta- watt Hours. That’s nine times more than the US electricity consumption is today. The US wind potential is 37 Peta- watt Hours. That’s nine times more than the US electricity consumption is today.

Wind Patterns in the U.S.

United States’ Investment in Wind Energy In 2011, The US invested 48 billion dollars in alternative energy. In 2011, The US invested 48 billion dollars in alternative energy. The US spends the most on renewable resources. The US spends the most on renewable resources. According to Pike Research the U.S will spend 145 billion in the years between According to Pike Research the U.S will spend 145 billion in the years between

In our Backyard In New York State, we have the potential to produce more than 5000 megawatts (MW) of clean electricity, using Wind Turbines. In New York State, we have the potential to produce more than 5000 megawatts (MW) of clean electricity, using Wind Turbines. In the fall of 2011, sixteen projects were implemented to harvest some of this wind potential. In the fall of 2011, sixteen projects were implemented to harvest some of this wind potential. 25 wind farm projects are under review or have been deemed clear to construct but have not begun. 25 wind farm projects are under review or have been deemed clear to construct but have not begun. By 2015, 30 percent of New York State’s Energy will be from renewable sources. By 2015, 30 percent of New York State’s Energy will be from renewable sources.

How To Capture wind By installing wind turbines in open, Desolate areas, or even on farm lands, the turbines can adjust to the direction of the wind, by changing the pitch of the individual blades. By installing wind turbines in open, Desolate areas, or even on farm lands, the turbines can adjust to the direction of the wind, by changing the pitch of the individual blades. The wind will push the blade until a certain point,than gravity will do the rest and pull the blade down. The wind will push the blade until a certain point,than gravity will do the rest and pull the blade down. Inside the apparatus the blades will spin a rotor, which is directly connected to the main shaft, which powers the generator, thus creating electricity.

Pro’s of Wind Energy Green Energy Source Prices have decreased since 1980’s. Can be captured almost anywhere Energy self-sufficient Process of capturing wind energy is harmless to environment Turbines could be installed residentially

Con’s of Wind Energy Wind is unpredictable, and may blow for a few minutes, a few hours, or not at all People are not all too thrilled about the aesthetics of the turbine Turbines are responsible for the deaths of birds Older turbines create very loud noises, disturbing those who live by the turbine
