The terms "wind energy" and "wind power" both describe the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks

The AC output of the wind turbine cannot be utilized directly because it is not stable and can vary depending on the wind speed and direction. Power electronics help to handle this problem by

Whether alternative energy can meet energy demands effectively enough to phase out use of finite (and “dirtier”) fossil fuels is hotly debated. Wind power plays a pivotal role in this debate.

However, if you only include the land directly affected by the footprint of each turbine, wind power consumes much less land. Wind energy is unique in how easily it can share land with other uses.
