Most of us have heard the expression "you can't see the trees for the forest". This concept is also applicable to many other situations; the tornado that leveled the whole town of Greensburg, Kansas or hurricane Katrina that completely flooded New Orleans and many surrounding areas. Hugh schooners heavily weighed down with cargo have also been power by the wind. These are just a few examples of the unseen, unyielding power of the wind. And yet, it is difficult to envision the harnessing of this great wind power to be used as a clean, renewable source of energy.

The wind is an element of nature and is free for the taking. Harnessing wind power does not produce any greenhouse gases or other waste products. Wind turbines, also called windmills, are capable of harnessing wind power and then transforming the kinetic energy of the wind into a usable form of mechanical energy.
