The movement of wind is kinetic energy that spins a turbine to create electricity

• Wind Energy
• Oil, coal, natural gas. When burned they produce carbon dioxide
• Organisms that eat the fish could become endangered due to starvation.
• The destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses.
