=__Efficient Radio "Wind Power__"= Josh(Proffesor hound) Lisa(Dr. Amy) Jacob(Jacob A. Williams) (Music) Jacob A. Williams (host): Welcome to 'efficient Radio' where even the radio is efficient. T oday we will be disscussing wind power. We will talk to two scientists today live here in our studio, they are experts on the subject of wind power. Wind power is using the wind to create electricity by the use of windmills. The wind turbine creates energy through the wind, and the way it does that is that the turbine turns and creates wind //and// electricity, that is how a windmill works.

Lisa(Dr. Amy): Hello everyone, I am Dr. Amy and I work at Wind energy WI. inc., Im an expert because because I have studyed wind power all my life. Professor Hound and I are going to explain wind power to you and tell you both the good and bad sides of wind power.

Josh(Proffesor hound): I am Proffesor Hound, and I work at the top Wind power company in Wisconsin, and I am one of their scientists and I am a expert at wind power because I have also been studying for years.

Lisa(Dr. Amy): Let's talk about wind power.

Josh:(Proffesor hound): One bad side of wind power is that today, certain species of birds are becoming threatened due to the blades of a windmill. Sometimes birds run into the blades and get killed.

Lisa(Dr. Amy): But on the positive side, now a days a windmill spins about 14 miles per hour so people get more electricity everyday.

Jacob A. Williams(host): That's something I didn't know.

Josh(Professor hound): If there is only one wind turbine, the wind power produces a small amount of energy, only enough to power a few homes. So in most cases you see wind farms with lots of windmills working together.

Lisa(Dr. Amy): Now in our world today the cost of wind turbines is slowly going down.

Josh(Proffesor hound): Yeah right!!

Josh(Proffesor hound): It costs like $1,000,000 dollars for a windmill!

Jacob A. Williams(host): Settle down there.

Josh(Proffesor hound): O.K, O.K, O.K I'll settle down!

Lisa(Dr. Amy): Actuly, It costs 10,000 dollars because the goverment gives you money back.

Lisa(Dr. Amy): One of the states leading this country in the use of wind power is Iowa. They have more than 600 wind turbines throughout the state providing clean energy.

Josh(Proffesor hound): Wow, a lot of birds will die due to all these windmills being placed over the land.

Josh(Proffesor hound): If a storm comes through, it will crush the wind turbines

Lisa(Dr. Amy): Well, actuly wind turbines have an emergency shut-off system.

Josh(Proffesor hound): If a tornado comes through it could rip the windmills out of the ground and the tornado would chuck the windmill at other windmills.

Josh(Profesor hound): Don't go close to a windmill because it will make a annoying buzzing sound and will hurt your hearing.

Lisa(Dr. Amy): Well, you could wear headphones!

Josh(Profesor hound): ... I never thought of that but you may be able to hear the annoying buzzing.

Lisa(Dr. Amy): Wind power has been in the U.S for a long time, it has been around since 1219 A.D.

Josh(Proffesor hound): Actuly that is true...

Jacob A. Williams (host): WOW! That is a very long time!

Lisa(Dr. Amy): We are now putting Wind turbines in the shallow part of the water.

Josh(Professor hound): Do you have Vehicles to do that?

Lisa(Dr. Amy): ﻿Yes, we do.

Josh(Proffesor hound): I bet they break down.

Lisa(Dr. Amy): HEY!!! They won't break down! They are strong vehicles!

Lisa(Dr. Amy): Is it time to go yet Jacob?

Jacob A. Williams(host): Yes, I belive so.

Josh(Proffesor hound): But I'm not finished yet!

Jacob A. Williams(host): Well sorry, you can come again someday.

Jacob A. Williams (host) : Thanks for coming!

Jacob A. Williams(host): See you next week for another lesson with the two scientists we just spoke to today only on: effciant radio

Josh(Proffesor hound): Wait, I can come back next week? AWSOME!
