Some really smart people have actually thought about how to generate and store wind energy.
The President of the United States recently suggested that wind energy was not viable because it only"blows sometimes."
The blade is aerodynamically-engineered to produce a slight difference in pressure on one side like an airplane wing.The rotation of the shaft is connected to a generator that produces electricity. The energy produced by wind depends on wind speed raised to the third power. Stronger wind speeds have greater power generation potential. If you double the wind speed, the energy potential increases by a factor of 8. The wind resource is used to asses wind power generation costs and is based on wind speed.Wind speeds are divided into seven classes — with class one being the lowest and class seven being the highest.
