Exploring Ways to Use Wind Energy
We have harnessed the wind's energy for hundreds of years—from windmills that pump water or grind grain to today's wind turbines that generate electricity.
If you live on at least one acre of land with an ample wind resource, you can generate your own electricity using a small wind electric system. You can also use a small wind turbine for pumping water.
You may have the opportunity now or in the future to buy clean electricity from a wind power plant.
