Former+Wind+Co.

Wind Co. is a company founded by Craig Wilson who thought everybody in Upper Merion should have a way to have a cheap reliable alternative energy resource. He and a few other friends said, "Wind would be the best for Upper Merion." So Craig Wilson (founder), Evan Wikersham (president), Deja Mays (vice president), Devyn Antonucci (regional manager), and Julia Reinert (assistant regional manager) came up with an idea to make a company for wind power for everyone in Upper Merion and eventually they expanded into the state of Pennsylvania, But their office is in Upper Merion on 450 Keebler Road you could also reach them at 1-800-WIND This link will get you started on learning a little bit about wind power.====== = =

=|| || || Image of how uneven heating of water and land causes wind. Land heats up faster than water. Warm air over the land rises. Cool air over the water moves in. ||= = =

= __Why should we use this alternative energy ?__ = We should use wind because the wind turbines create enough energy for almost everyone. It has been used for centuries. It is an attractive,and non-polluting source of electricity. Also has clean fuel and doesn't produce air or water pollution. Used to generate electricity. It's a renewable resiurce so we useit again and again!!

= __What is Wind energy?__ = Wind Energy comes from uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. Wind Machines use blades to collect the winds Kinetic Energy.Wind Mills slow down the speed of the wind to make it easier to collect the kinetic energy of the wind. = __Some Advantages Of Wind Power.__ = = = = =
 * 1) It Is Cheap- This is great because our economy is horrible right now and, some people cannot afford regular electricity.
 * 2) Non-Polluting- This is good because it won't hurt animals and the earth by releasing deadly gases.
 * 3) Take Up Small Amount Of Land- Usually farms have wind turbines on their land so... they will have more land for their crops and animals. But for people who have wind turbines and no farm it is good because they'll have a cheaper and more environmentally friendly electric resource.
 * 4) Even Remote Areas Can Use Wind Energy- This is awesome because if they are not connected to an electricity power grid with, a wind turbine they can supply their own electricity through a wind turbine.

=__**Some disadvantages of wind power.**__=
 * 1) It Is Loud- Keep wind turbines a good distance away from homes.
 * 2) Fast moving Blades- Build on wind farms not near airport.
 * 3) Kill Birds And Bats- Locate wind farms away from birds and bats known migratory routes
