 * **What are the advantages of using this source of energy?**
 * 1) Helps move sail boats in the water
 * 2) Makes electricity for homes

 * 5) Wind has no cost to it
 * 6) Does not harm the environment
 * 7) Land is still able to be farmed
 * 8) Attract alot of curiouse people

 * 1) It only works if you have good wind, speed, air density and the length of the rotor blades.
 * 2) Wind is unpredictable.
 * 3) Good areas for wind farms are near coast and is very exspensive.
