How does wind energy work?

advantages and disadvantages of wind energy

Can anyone please tell me how wind energy works as simple as possible. I need to do a power point presentation on wind energy so yeah… It would also be great if someone could tell me the advantages and disadvantages of wind energy (again, as simple as possible, please). Thanks soooooo much!

basically, it takes kinetic energy from the wind (that is the wind moving) and uses it to turn a fan.

The fan that is turning is connected to an electric generator, with the sind-driven fan supplying the energy. Thus, it creates electricity.

It is good because it doesn’t burn any fuels, and doesn’t harm the environment at all.

It is bad because it doesn’t produce a sufficient amount of energy to sustain…well hardly anything.
