Wind turbines use blades to collect the wind's kinetic energy. The blades are connected to a drive shaft that turns an electric generator, which produces . . Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind flows over the blades creating lift (similar to the effect on airplane wings), which causes the blades to turn. . Wind energy has experienced remarkable growth, transforming from generating just 6 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) in 2000 to 425. In 2024, wind and solar combined reached a record 17% of US electricity generation, overtaking coal for the first time. This page offers a text version of the interactive animation: How a Wind Turbine Works.
