2. 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.

3. 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.

5. How wind energy is distributed The electricity produced by turbine, would travel directly from the generator to a power grid, where distribution would occur, to near by houses, and small companies.
