Wind is generated from solar energy unevenly heating the earth. This uneven heating creates pressure changes in the atmosphere, generating wind. This wind can then be harnessed by a wind turbine. As the wind pushes the blades of a turbine, a generator attached to the axis of the shaft and when spun creates electricity that can be sent to the
