Wind generated power has been used since ancient times for pumping water, grinding grain and transportation. Windmills (wind turbines) can now even generate electricity! I chose this topic because it seems that the whole world should be running off wind generated power. It is cleaner and it provides a never-ending supply, wh ...view middle of the document...
