   !) wind causes tubine to spinwhich drvies a dynamo inside which produces electricity

   2)advantages – no carbon emissions, everlasting
   disadvantages – need lots of turbines to be worth while, therefore lots of space, only works on a windy day
   3)wind farms
   4)Although wind currently produces just over 1% of world-wide electricity use, it accounts for approximately 19% of electricity production in Denmark, 9% in Spain and Portugal, and 6% in Germany and the Republic of Ireland

   hope it helped =)

   You can google up wind farms for detailed information on how the wind power is tranformed into electrical power. The advantages, obviously, are that wind power is pollution free but the disadvantage is that it is only available when the wind blows. A certain amount can be retained in storage batteries, but only enough for emergency use.
   Examples that use wind energy? Any electrical appliance can be powered by wind energy.

   Here you go, Jerry. Bear in mind, that tower was about 100 ft tall.
