Do Wind Turbines Use Natural Gas?

Wind turbines generate no energy when the wind doesn''t blow, and there is no gas generator inside. Wheel energy also lacks the versatility of natural gas and oil, with a carbon footprint

What''s the carbon footprint of a wind turbine?

Power plants that burn natural gas are responsible for 437 to 758 grams of CO2-equivalent per kilowatt-hour — far more than even the most carbon-intensive wind turbine listed above.

How Do Wind Turbines Work?

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 turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor,
