3. How my energy works:
●
Wind is one of the most abundant natural, renewable
resources available. Wind creates emissions-free energy.
●
Diversification of energy sources offers the most viable
approach to greater energy security for our nation.

4. My energy in the world:
●
"Alpha Ventus," the first German wind park in the North Sea, has become
home to a new biotope.
●
Spain is the world's third biggest producer of wind power, with a year-end
installed capacity of 21.6 GW and a share of total electricity consumption
of 15.9% in 2011
●
Wind energy plays an integral role in California's electricity portfolio.

5. Wind energy in Spain:
●
In 2010, 43,692 GWh of wind electricity was produced in
Spain, with an end of year installed capacity of over 20 GW,
representing 20% of capacity, and 16% of production

6. Environmental impact:

7. Climate change:
●
Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical
distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades
to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather
conditions, or in the distribution of weather around the average
conditions

8. Global warming:
Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of
Earth's atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th
century and its projected continuation.

9. Acid rain:
●
Acid rain is a rain or any other from of precipitation that is
unusually acidic, meaning that it possesses elevated
levels of hydrogen ions. It can have harmful effects on
plants, aquatic animals and infrastructure.
