Zoe: "Hello and welcome to the Wind Power is Awesome Interview. I'm Zoe Parks and I will be your host tonight. I am here tonight with Ally Berg and Miss. Samantha. They are both owners of wind turbines and use wind power. Before we get to the interview, I think everyone should know that wind power is an enviormently friendly source of energy that uses wind to make electricity. So let's hear what Ally has to say.

Ally: " Hi I am Ally Berg and I love to use wind power to get my electricity".

Zoe: What is wind power Ally?

Ally: Wind power is simply air and motoin.

Zoe: What causes wind?

Ally: Wind is caused by the heat of the sun.

Zoe: I know that wind turbines and windmills are the same thing. Using wind to make electricity has been around for a long time.Wind turbines work opposite of house fans though, instead of using electricity to make wind, they use wind to make electricity.

Zoe: Miss. Samantha where were wind turbines invented?

Samantha: They were invented in China.

Zoe: Really. That is super far away.

Ally: Here are some reasons why people should consider using wind power. Wind power could change the world because wind power will help everyone save money on electricity. We need wind power to help the world to be healthier. Wind power does not pollute, and it never runs out.Wind power is a better way to generate electricity then plants fueled by coal, hydro (water) or nuclear power because it does not produce waste. Other ways to make electricity uses stuff like gas and coal. Burning gas and coal is bad for the enviorment. Wind power doesn't use either so thats why its healthier.

Zoe: Now here's Miss Samantha to tell us the other side

Samantha: I am Miss. Samantha and I do not like Wind Power. My friends and family say I have to use it,so I do.

Zoe: "Ally why do you like to use wind power"?

Ally: I like to use wind power because I save money on all of my electricity.

Zoe: What do you think about wind power Miss. Samantha?

Samantha: "A wind turbine only produces a little bit of electricity. In this case bigger is better. In other words, bigger turbines produce more electricity.

Zoe: Is that really true?

Samantha: yes.

Zoe: I don't know very much about wind power all I know about wind power is the energy in the wind turns two to three propeller-like blades arouned a rotor. The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to make the electricity.

Ally: wow, it seems like you know alot about wind power to me.

Zoe: Thank you go on, miss. Samantha.

Samantha: Wind turbines have negatives effects on the enviroment because they are dangerous to the birds which can make the ecosystems unbalanced, another problem is that if the wind is not blowing it causes no electricity, and when I am trying to sleep the windmill makes squeaky noises.

Zoe: Miss Samantha, what is the worst thing about wind power?

Samantha: I think wind turbines look ugly. The connection has to be close not far away. You also have to be careful where you put a wind turbine or the turbine will not work.

Zoe: Ally, What happens to wind turbines when there is a storm?

Ally: Wind turbines have an emergency shut-off. So if a tornado or wind storm comes they can turn off.

Zoe: Cool is that true?

Ally: Yes that's right.

Zoe: Is using wind power easy?

Ally: It is easy for us because it is renewable.

Zoe: What do you think the world should know?

Ally: Wind power will help save money on electricity,we need wind power to help the world to be safer, wind power does not pollute, the wind turbine never runs out, and the wind turbines is cleaner than nuclear fuel.

Zoe: Cool! Miss. Samantha what is the last thing you want to say?

Samantha: Sometimes wind turbines are to much work for some people, like me.

Zoe: Than should i use wind power?

Ally and Samantha: yes no.

Zoe: wait what?

Ally: well it is up to you.

Zoe: I will think about it. thank you for listening to wind power is awesome interview and have a good night. To learn more about wind power go to eiakids.com
