I know this doesn’t answer your question, but wind power actually damages the environment. My mom and I were watching CNN news when it says that wind power stuff reales something that damages it

Well, wind power is produced when air in some regions becomes warmer than others (due to heating from the sun). When that happens, air will tend to move to the colder region (by convection). That causes wind flow. If the wind flow is captured by rotating turbines, that can form circular kinetic energy that can be given to a coil. a rotating coil when placed in a magnetic field produces alternating current just like the alternator in your car. That is how electricity is produced by wind power.
