Why not?

• Why dont we use wind power generators inside our
  gardens?
• Instead we burn tons of oil daily to make
  electricity.
• Not only this is bad for the environment but this
  is also bad for our own health, because we breath
  in the fumes coming from burned oil.
• Todays technology has given us the opportunity
  to take wind and change it to electricity by
  using a wind turbine.

Think about it

• Wouldnt you like it if every morning you woke up
  and saw the wind power generator and thought how
  good this is for the environment we all live ?
• Think about this after I the end of this slide
  show

Is it expensive?

• In Cyprus people must think that a wind turbine
  must cost a lot, but it doesnt really. A wind
  turbine can cost from 2000 pounds to 5000pounds
  depending on how much electricity a place needs.
  A wind turbine for sure will cost less than
  paying electricity in five years. And as you know
  a wind turbine needs wind to make electricity and
  wind costs nothing.

How hard is oil to get ?

• Fossil Fuel Energy - Oil
• Oil is a thick, black, gooey liquid also called
  petroleum. It's found way down in the ground,
  usually between layers of rock. To get oil out, a
  well is dug. Digging a well is like putting a
  straw into a can of coke. The oil is then pumped
  out of the ground, just like when you suck coke
  up the straw. Oil
• Gas Pump
• is carried in pipelines and large tanker ships. A
  refinery changes the oil into products like
  gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuel. It's also
  burned in factories and power plants to make
  electricity. The oil is burned, which produces
  gases that turn a turbine to create electricity.

The benefits of wind energy

• It's clean. Wind power does not produce dangerous
  waste, nor does it contribute to global warming.
  It's affordable.
• The first offshore wind turbines in the UK are
  producing power more cheaply than our newest
  nuclear power station. The UK Government's
  figures show that all wind power will be cheaper
  than nuclear power by 2020.
• It works. Denmark already gets 20 of its
  electricity from wind power.

7
Not only but

• It creates jobs. The wind industry could bring
  thousands of new jobs to Cyprus, many of them
  using offshore engineering skills used by the
  declining oil and gas industry. If offshore wind
  were developed to supply just 10 of the Cyprus
  electricity, then 36,000 jobs could be created.
• It's safe. Unlike nuclear power stations, wind
  turbines are unlikely terrorist targets.
