WIND FACTS
An infinite source of clean power; actually the source is the sun.
As the sun warms the earth, it, in turn, warms the air above it, making it less dense or lighter. As the light air rises, it creates a low pressure zone near the ground. Air from surrounding cooler areas rushes in to balance the pressure. These are called local winds.
Our vast landscape, three windy coastlines, the plains and mountains all contribute to this endless resource. Turkey like Denmark already get over 10% of their electricity from wind.
