I think the main idea is that wind turbines are making a comeback in becoming a main generator in electricity. It says in the text,"It stopped being used for much of the 20th century. Now wind is making a comeback. Increasingly, it is being used to produce electricity." It also says,"Wind turbines were first developed in the late 1800s. They were used to make electricity in Europe and North America.This did not last long, though. Wind is unpredictable." This shows that wind turbines are becoming more and more used for producing electricity. I think wind turbines are a bad idea. I think this because wind is unpredictable. Some days it can be really windy, but other days it can have almost none. Also you need a lot of wind turbines, which is a lot of natural resources.

I know the main idea of the text is the wind turbines are better for the environment than fossil fuels and other . I know this is the main idea because in the text it states "The generator then creates electricity" and the text also says"Wind cannot be used up." which means that its renewable meaning that the wind turbine is a great alternative and is a great source of energy.

I think that the main idea is that the wind turbines have some challenges but are very good for the environment. I know this because in the text it states," Offshore wind farms can damage the ocean. The seafloor has to be drilled into to keep turbines in place," but it also says," Wind is a clean source of energy. Turbines do not pollute the air." I think that wind turbines should be used everywhere because they are good for the environment.

I think the main idea of the text is slowly wind energy is replacing some fossil fuels. I think this because in the text it says " wind is making a comeback as a source of electricity and power." Also it says "Windmills And The Evolution Of Wind Energy." I think this is a good idea because it will cut down on green house gases and will help with climate change.

I think the main idea of this article is that wind power is a good natural energy that is coming back. For example in the article it states, "Today, though, wind is making a comeback as a source of electricity and power." which shows wind energy is coming back. Next, it says, "Today, this unpredictability prevents wind power from becoming the main source of energy. However, it can be an excellent addition to traditional power sources." which shows that although wind might not always be there, but it is still a good clean energy source. Wind power is a good idea because it is clean and eco-friendly. It also is very cheap.

I know the main idea of the artical is that although wind turbines are have some drawbacks they are a great alternative to fossil fuels and other non-renewable energy sources. I know this is the main idea because in the text it says, "It is increasingly being used to produce electricity." and the text talks about how wind is a renewable resource, meaning that it will never run out. This shows me that wind energy is a good source energy and can be used unlimited unlike fossil fuels or minerals. Also the texts shows many advantages to wind turbines including wind energy is inexpensive and is uncostly. This proves the main idea because it shows the many ups to having wind turbines and why they are good for both people and the environment. There are some drawbacks like it kills animals like bats and birds, but the majority is good things. This all proves the main idea.

The main idea of this passage is that wind turbines are a good chose of energy. I know this because in the text it says," Wind cannot be used up. Wind is a clean source of energy. Turbines do not pollute the air.'' That is 2 reasons that I think the author thinks that wind turbines are a good idea.Another reason is that they are Eco- friendly and wind powers them so you are not using fossil fuels to make it work Another reason is that in the text it says,"Wind energy is very cheap. Wind is found all over the planet. Turbines can be put up almost everywhere." These are the reasons I know that wind turbines are probably the best chose for energy. :D

I believe the main idea of the passage generating energy from the wind is how wind turbines work and how they'are coming back. One reason I think that is in the passage it states, "When the wind turns the blades, the blades turn a generator and create electricity." this shows me the main idea because it's telling me how the wind turbines produce energy... to be contiuned

i believe that the main idea is, we need to conserve our nonrenewable resources. because, if we don't everything will fall apart. so we should conserve our energy.

I think the main idea of this article is wind energy and how it is created, how it will make a difference and how to make it better. In the article, it states, "If winds are too strong, they can be damaged. Therefore, the turbine has an automatic controller that turns on when winds are blowing at prime speed for generating electricity." This tells me that it wants to tell you the updates they added to make wind energy more efficient and not get damaged. The text says "Five thousand years ago, wind-powered boats transported people and cargo along the Nile River." This tells me that we actually harvested wind energy very long ago and can see all the changes it went though. Lastly, the article states "Today, wind is making a comeback as a source of electricity and power." This shows me that the author wants to tell you how the wind energy is better than other sources and should be used more often.

I belive that wind energy is a good idea but this can be bad in some cases. This type of energy is safe and non polluting. These wind turbines are a modern day type of wind energy. These are powered by a generator being rotated to create energy. But this energy does not always work. They cannot operate correctly at certain wind speeds. They placed in fields with other turbines to form a farm.The wind cannot be used up so the turbines can produce lots energy. They are a clean advantage to air. They do not pollute the air. But they a;so often times kill birds and bats and they are very noisy.

I believe wind power is a good idea. in the text it states that " To generate large amounts of electricity" and that says that wind power can generate larger amounts of electricity so people can have a chance to get electricity. wind farms make hundred of turbines and since they are so big they have to be spread out a across acres. Even though it cost a lot build it is very worth it so if you own a wind farm I suggest to get a few turbines.

The main idea of "Generating Energy from the wind" is that wind turbines can generate and create electricity. One example from the text is " When the wind turns the blades, the blades turn a generator and create electricity." This shows me the process of creating electricity though the wind turbines. In conclusion, another piece of evidence is," To generate a large amount of electricity, wind turbines are often constructed in large groups called wind farms." This is shows me how the wind turbines make electricity. This is a good idea because it can generate electricity while not polluting the air.

The main idea of this passage was how wind was generated and producing light with the turbines, and wind farms. One detail from the text was " To produce more electricity, wind turbines are often set up in large groups " this text evidence showed me that producing light with mills creates electricity, and can be a better advantage and resource in our future in creating light and more to also better treat our environment and help more the community in the future. In conclusion, one more pice of evidence is "When the wind turns the blades, the blades turn a generator. The generator then creates electricity" this shows me how the wind turbines produce electricity and power our homes in our community. this is a good idea, because wind turbines can create electricity not trap it and it is most likely more safe and secure while also not paluting the air.

I think the main idea of the passage is that solor energy is something that we need and we wouldn't be able to really do any thing. We need solor energy to do lots of things and people wouldn't be happy without it.

Is getting energy from the wind a good thing? In my opinion generating energy from the wind is as good idea. I think this, because the air will not get polluted, wind is everywhere, and finally it is not expensive.

Have you ever seen a wind turbine? In this text the author uses text evidence to support the main idea. In the text of “Generating energy from the wind” the author uses details like, wind does not cause pollution and they slowed down the amount of pollution to support the main idea that wind turbines are coming back, and it is a good thing.
