Every year, wind turbines produce about 434 billion kilowatts (kWh) of electricity a year. Just 26 kWh of energy can power an entire home for a day. Wind is the third largest source of
View Details
Most turbines automatically shut down when wind speeds reach about 88.5 kilometers per hour (55 miles per hour) to prevent mechanical damage. This reduces electricity production when
