About Wind Turbines
Wind turbines are the modern version of windmills. Wind turbines are placed atop giant pillars in fields, offshore, and on mountaintops, to capture wind energy and convert it to electricity. Wind turbines need to be tall to capture the maximum amount of wind energy. Today the height of wind turbines is only limited by the maximum height of cranes needed to lift the turbines up.
About Energy
Energy is used to do work. In our modern lives we are more and more preoccupied with finding new sources of energy to heat our buildings and move our machines, including cars. Since the dawn of the 20th century, fossil fuels have been the main way we get energy, but those forms of energy are causing environmental damage and leading to global warming. That is because the burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. New forms of energy are being sought.
