Wind Turbines, Are They The Future For Energy?

Post contributed by Alfredo Gaines

From what I can tell, I am expecting to see home energy savings through new green technologies in the very near future. The reason I say that is because there are a lot of different things that are taking place today, to create newer methods of generating electricity than ever before.

Things like wind turbines being placed in fields all across the nation. These turbines are showing up out in open farmland where there is no obstruction to prevent them from receiving all of the wind they need to turn. They are wired to pow! er plants, like batteries, to store the energy they generate. These huge power plants are then ready to send electricity wherever the need is.

Contrary to what some would believe, faster turning wind mills does not mean more electricity generated. What is needed to produce the greatest amount of electricity is torque, so the turbines are adjusted for resistance to the wind.

Generating electricity from renewable sources will put this planet back to its healthy state faster than could ever have been imagined just a couple of decades ago. This is very exciting indeed. Along with solar power, there seems to be no end to what can be done to decrease our "carbon footprint", using the earth's own clean natural resources. Why didn't we think of this before?
