Wind energy is electricity from the naturally flowing air in the Earth's atmosphere. As a renewable resource that won't get depleted through use, its impact on the environment and climate crisis is significantly smaller than burning fossil fuels.
We can create wind energy by erecting something as simple as a set of 8-foot sails positioned to capture prevailing winds that turn a stone and grind grain (a gristmill). Or, a wind energy structure can be as complex as a 150-foot vane turning a generator that produces electricity to be stored in a battery or deployed over a power distribution system. There are even bladeless wind turbines.
