Wind power in Texas

Wind power in Texas is a way to make electricity using the energy from moving air (wind). Wind turbines are machines that capture the energy of the wind and turn it into electricity. When the wind blows, the blades of the turbine rotate, turning a shaft that is connected to an electric generator. The generator produces electricity that can be used to power homes and businesses. In Texas, there are many wind farms that generate enough electricity to light up many homes and businesses. Wind is a clean and renewable energy source, which means it won't run out like coal or oil. Wind power is helping to reduce greenhouse gases and help the environment by not using fossil fuels.
