I will go ahead...

RoyLatham

Thanks to my opponent for proposing this timely topic. For this debate, wind power is electric power generated from wind energy for delivery over the power grid to users. Wind power is now generated using wind turbines of various kinds, often large propellers, driving electric generators. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_farm "Econ...
