Week One: Wind Energy

This week, I wanted to talk about one of the most controversal types of alternative energy; Wind energy. Many people have only heard about wind energy and not actually looked anything up about it. When I was looking it up, I found a very helpful website that not only talks about wind turbines, but how wind is formed, how wind turbines work, and where the best, most productive areas for wind farms in the united states should be.

Introduction!

Hello! Welcome to my blog, Alternative Sorces for Power. This blog is dedicated to helping readers better understand the differences between the types of energy we currently use (oil, coal, other fossil fuels), and the alternative options we have for energy (hydroelectric energy, wind turbines, ect.). Are these alternatives better than fossil fuels, or are they more trouble than they're worth?
