 * Wind Energy: How it works**
 * Wind energy is a renewable resource
 * Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface
 * Wind spins a propellor that spins a shaft
 * The shaft has a magnet that creates electricity when it spins around a copper coil.
 * The electrical energy produced goes to power electrical devices.
 * The place best to put a wind turbine is a windy area.
 * This works similarly to geothermal, nuclear, and fossils fuels because they also spin a turbine.
