Abstract:

What part does the wind play in satisfying energy demands? This informational piece, part of a series about the future of energy, introduces students to wind as an energy source. Here students read about the history, uses, and efficiency of wind power. Information is also provided about benefits, limitations, and geographical considerations of wind power in the United States. Thought-provoking questions afford students chances to reflect on what they've read about the uses of wind power. Supplemental articles and information are available from a sidebar. Three energy-related web links are also provided. Copyright 2005 Eisenhower National Clearinghouse
