Wind power or wind energy is a form of renewable energy that harnesses the power of the wind to generate electricity. It involves using wind turbines to convert the turning motion of blades, pushed by moving air (kinetic energy) into electrical energy (electricity). . Dramatic Cost Competitiveness: Wind energy has achieved remarkable cost reductions, with new wind projects now pricing electricity at around $26 per megawatt-hour, making it competitive with natural gas at $28 per MWh and establishing wind as one of the most economical electricity sources available. . Wind turbines A California hillside is lined with wind turbines to generate electricity. Associate Professor of Engineering Systems and Atmospheric Chemistry, Engineering Systems Division and Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
