So lately in class, we have been learning about wind, Wind turbines are a part of what we are learning. We learned this so we can all understand how wind works and so we have insight on the wind! A wind turbine is a fancier version of a windmill! They catch the energy in the air to make electricity. Good quality wind turbines last 20 years, although that can be extended to 25 years.
Wind turbines stop spinning when the wind stops, So they are powered by wind and not powered by electrical wires or anything to do with electricity.
