For my fourth blog entry for my environment science blog I am going to do it on a source of energy. The type of energy I will be explaining to whoever is reading this blog is wind energy. So what I will explaining about wind energy are what it is, facts about it, and why it is better.
First off I will start by explaining what wind energy is. Well, wind energy is pretty much self explanatory it is anything that converts the power of wind into energy. Some examples of wind energy are wind mills and wind turbines. Now these two types of wind power generators when connected to a bunch of converters, gizmos and gadgets they can produce energy in the source of electricity which we all know what that is we use it all the time.
Next for this blog I will give some facts on wind energy. Did you know National Renewable Energy Laboratory says that 1 megawatt of wind energy can offset about 2,600 tons of carbon dioxide being released into our earth's atmosphere. Now I got a little fun history lesson for you too did you know that the first modern wind turbine was built in 1940’s in Vermont. Also at the end of 2012 the united states had a total of More than 45,100 wind turbines.
The final thing I will explain in this blog will be why wind energy is better. Wind energy is better in many ways but it is mainly better because it is cleaner for our environment and is more efficient. So it is cleaner for our environment because its powered by wind a harmless element to our plant and its atmosphere. Now why is it more efficient? Well duh, it is a limitless source of energy that can be harnessed which means it will never run out unlike the fossil fuel we keep burning up.
Now that I have explained about wind energy are what it is, facts about it, and why it is better I hope you realize why we need to continue and use more of it. Well, this is the end of my fourth blog I hope you enjoyed reading it and gathered a lot of helpful information about wind energy. Thank you.
