Wind power is the transformation of wind energy into
(1) electricity, using wind turbines. Wind turbines are
normally grouped together in (2) windy locations to form
(3) wind farms like those near the coast of Denmark.
Nowadays, many countries are developing wind energy. In fact, the Global Wind Energy Council reports that the electricity produced
by wind power has increased by more than 40% in recent years. This (4) production only represents 1% of world-wide
electricity use. The world's largest offshore wind turbines are in Blyth, Great Britain. The turbines are 70 metres high and provide electricity for 3,000 homes.
