Large scale wind generated energy

Introduction [|What is wind power?]

Wind power can be described as the useful energy that is converted from wind energy, in one case electricity is converted using wind turbines, a very common and efficient method used today. Wind power has become an increasingly favored solution for energy replacing fossil fuels. It is a renewable source which is plentiful, it can be widely distributed, and is a cleaner more environmentally friendly source of energy. On the other hand, the construction of wind farms is disliked, as it has a very strong visual impact and effects on the environment.

What is it used for?

An obvious use of wind energy in the past has been for sailing ships, or otherwise converted to mechanical energy for pumping water or grinding grain. Nowadays its main principal application is to generate electricity.
