Do you know the way of using wind power to make electricity? There are many advantages (优点) of using wind to make electricity. Here're some of them.
First, it may be one of the cheapest ways to make electricity. Second, it can make and store hydrogen gas (氢气). The most important one is that it won't pollute the environment. Besides, the wind power can be reused.
But large wind farms might kill birds, too, because the birds always fly into the wind turbine (风力涡轮机). Scientists are looking for ways to stop it.
