ind has been used for human activities for thousands of years, for example to crush grains (milling) or to pump water.
Today's wind turbines are marvels of complicated engineering, that are on average more than 80m tall, and can generate almost 3 megawatts of electricity.

ind energy captures the kinetic energy of moving air to generate electricity, providing a clean and renewable power source. With both onshore and offshore wind farms growing in scale and efficiency, wind power is becoming a major contributor to global energy systems, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing energy security.
