 * **SYNOPSIS** (Summary of source) || Wind power is the conversion of wind energy. Using wind turbines to make electricity, windmills for mechanical power, windpumps for water pumping or drainage, or sails to propel ships. Wind energy or power is just a process of energy. ||

 * **COMPARISON** (Why it is better than fossil fuels) || Wind energy is better than fossil fuels because it's a renewable energy source. It will not run out like fossil fuels. Wind energy does not cause any pollution. ||
 * **CONCERNS** (Problems with the new energy) || Wind produces very little effective power. The wind systems require fossil fuel for backup. Having to use fossil fuel for backup ends up killing many birds and bats annually. ||  ||

 * **SYNOPSIS** (Summary of source) || wind power is a very effective energy because it is  a renewable resource that has been here before humanity existed, wind is created by air and the air is created from oxygen and carbon dioxide, air is felt because of the movement of the earth. The rotation of the planet causes high and low pressure which is what makes the human have the feeling of a unseen force which is wind. Whoever created earth or whatever force created earth, created everything for its own specific reason, creation of earth was like a orchastrated event,that's why scientist cant fully understand the reasons of life on earth, because they are a part of the whole. ||

 * **COMPARISON** (Why it is better than fossil fuels) || Wind is better then fossil fuels because fossil fuels takes up to years for its creation to take place, and wind itsself has been here all along. its what makes up life. ||
 * **CONCERNS** (Problems with the new energy) || the only problem with wind energy is that it needs turbines to created the energy and the turbines needs the fossil fuels to function. ||   ||

 * **COMPARISON** (Why it is better than fossil fuels) || altough most would say fossil fuels are cheaper and easier too make their are most sources saying that these forms of fuels are killing and destroying what little of our planet we have yet too destroy or even harm while these wind turbines and their parts are costly doesnt it make more sense too use what their is for our benefit rather then use what their isnt for our needs and uses so that we can have somehting later on our planet rather nothing in the future for a dime here and their so in a way the cost is costly and heavy the benefit of a clear concious and alitte weight lifted upon our planet is somthing too push. ||
 * **CONCERNS** (Problems with the new energy) || the concerns of this item here is the fact that the cost of one turbine is 48,000 the cheapest best one made by others and 2.8 million dollars the most effective and money saveing one thst makes your electricity bill look like a couple dollars sp in fact not many people can even afford this but it might be somehting we can make cheapely for 200 dollars yourself. ||  ||

Braian - The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) began a project to collect wind power plant output data from several large commercial wind plants during the spring of 2000. The first wind power plant to participate in the project was the Lake Benton II Wind Power Plant connected to Xcel Energy’s transmission system in southwest Minnesota. NREL installed recording and communication equipment on site to transmit data back to NREL. The equipment recorded real and reactive power outputs and 3-phase line-to-ground voltages at the wind plant interconnection point at a 1-Hertz sampling rate. Note: I did copy some of the big words
