Wind power
- Wind can be used to drive turbines which in turn produce electricity
- UK already has over 1,000 wind turbines
- First built in Cornwall in 1991
- Hundreds more have been built since in Cumbria, Wales, Yorkshire, Northern Ireland and Scotland
- Some are on land, some on water where it's windier
- Produce 555.8 megawatts of energy - enough to power nearly 400,000 homes
- Wind energy is renewable, clean, and cheap
- But critics say turbines are an eyesore.
