This project by Hutch Tidwell, Joshua LeFors, Elizabeth Sanders, and Savannah Jordan delves into wind energy, a clean and sustainable resource derived from the kinetic energy of wind. Wind turbines convert wind into electricity by spinning blades that turn a shaft connected to a generator. Wind energy has become prominent in regions like the United States, India, Germany, France, and Spain. While it offers economic and environmental benefits, such as powering generators and promoting agricultural development, challenges like its variability and impacts on wildlife must be considered, particularly in Texarkana.

Wind Energy • Wind Energy- kinetic energy converted from wind into electric current
Basic Explanation • Created by wind turbines. • Wind turns the blades, which spins a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity.
Location of Wind Energy • First appeared in Europe Used most efficiently by: • United States • India • Germany • France • Spain
What Wind Energy does • Supply power for electric generators • Used to generate mechanical power or electricity.
Unreliable Resource • Wind varies daily
