Read the passage. The Power of the Wind
Global warming and energy independence are important concerns for the United States. One of the most valuable renewable resources
that can be used for energy is wind power. Using wind power will help our country reduce its dependence on fossil fuels which pollute the
environment and are expensive to purchase from foreign governments. Installing wind turbines that harness the wind helps create thousands of
new jobs which will boost the country's economy, Everyone in the United States supports the use of wind energy
The United States is taking big steps in using the power of the wind. In 2007, the U. S. wind power industry installed over 5,200 megawatts
of power, which led to a 45% growth in wind power
However, there is still a lot of work to do, B6% of energy in the United States is still produced by fossil fuels. This demonstrates that our
country sell relles on these harmful pollutants that send carbon dioxide streaming into the atmosphere for its main source of energy
Many new wind power projects should be constructed in a nationwide effort to address global warming. There are many sites across our
country that are excellent places to install turbines. The government should provide tax credits to land owners who choose to have turbines
installed
on their property. This would help the expansion of wind farms across the United
States,
We must move toward an energy independent nation that uses clean and sustainable resources, Wind power will help the environment,
the economy, and our way of life. It is the wave of the future and the future should start now
