1In the quiet countryside near the town of Amlwych in the UK, there are thirty-four huge
windmills standing together on a hill. All day the Wind turns them round and round.
Each windmill is over 30 metres high. This is a wind farm. The thirty-four windmills _
produce enough electricity for 14,000 homes. '
2Wind farms are different from other ways of producing electricity. They are clean because
they don't produce air pollution. And they are cheap. The windmills are quite expensive
to build, but the wind is free".
3‘We should build more wind farms,’ says Ray McBride. Ray is a farmer, and some of the
windmills were built on his land by an electricity company. ‘We get a lot of wind here
in the UK. But wind farms produce only 2.5 per cent of our electricity. In Denmark 25
per cent of their electricity comes from wind farms.’
4 But some people don't like wind farms. Ann Cox, who lives near the wind farm says,
‘I came to live here because it's a beautiful part of the country. Then they built those
huge ugly windmills. They spoil the countryside. I don't think they're good for the
environment at all.’
5People may not agree about wind farms, but the British government thinks they are
important for the country's future. More than ten farms have even been built out atseal
And more are planned. Wind power in the UK is here to stay.
