__Interviewer__ Hello my name is Professor John and welcome to the radio talk show wind power wonder. On this show we talk about the fascinating facts about wind power. There's been a lot of debate about whether or not wind power is good, so we want to make sure we have all the information. we all want to learn don't we?

__Interviewer__ Today we are going to interview a professional wind power scientist. He will be bringing his two friends, both teachers at Harvard, Susan and Chloe. they will be helping him with the pros and facts aboult wind power. How exciting! but before we talk to them, we are going to talk about the defenition of wind power. Wind power is a source of energy that uses wind and turbines to create electricity. wind turbines are big wind mills that usually stand 250 to 400 feet tall. they create electricity without harming the enviroment. . wind mills can power buisnesses, houses and farms. Most people around the world like the idea of wind mills to create energy. Oh, here they come! A round of aplaus for the professional scientist Dr. Finkster.

__Dr. finkster__ Thank you thank you! as you know my name is dr. finkster! I am a scientist that studys wind power. today i am going to be teaching you and talking about WIND POWER WONDER!!!!!!!!!! These are my helping hands clhoe and susan.

__interviewer__ dr finkster can you please tell us the cons of wind power?

__dr finkster__ yes why yes i certainly can! well wind mills can kill flying animals and just one wind farm takes up alot of land. It also takes away alot of natural habits. Only one wind mill can only produce a small amount of energy. Wind mills are very large. They are over than 400 ft. high. Another way is that wind farms block views of nature. Wind mills can catch on fire and burn wild life habitats. And the last thing for cons is that unused power gets wasted on things we don't really need and then it costs you more.

__interviewer__ Next after the cons is the facts of wind power! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

__expert carli__ Did you know that a wind mill has an emergency shut off in case of a dangourus storm or tornado. Another thing is that wind power is a form of solar power because wind is made from heat by the sun. That creates the wind. Also some states have wind farms at shools. The tallest wind mill in the world is in hawaii that stands 20 stories tall! Also wind turbines have a low speed shaft and a high speed shaft to make the blades go slow and fast. A wind mill can be built in or by water. The bigger the wind mill is the more wind it reaches and the more electricity it produces.

__dr finkster__ Now My buddy susen will tell you about the pros of wind power! lets get going!!!!!!!!!!

__expert sophia__ Some people think wind mills are really pretty. Wind power is a clean source of energy so it doesn't cause air, soil, or water pollution. Wind farms provide extra income to farmers who have wind turbines on their land. Also building wind farms can produce many jobs. Also wind power is a renewable energy source because we will never run out of wind!!!! Isn't that cool? Also if you have alot of wind mills you can power many homes and buisnesses. wind mills power t.vs, radios, computers, lights, heat, and cool air. wind mills save alot of money for people.

__dr.finkster__ This is how wind power affects other people on earth: __expert carli__ wind power is a clean source of energy.

__expert sophia__ that means that it is not polluting the enviroment.

__dr.finkster__ we need the source of energy because we might run out of the fossil fuels we use for energy today. hmm... Do we have anything else to talk about? well, anyone? ......... ok I guess we should get going now. don't you think guys? .

__Interviewer__ oh yeah we forgot about where to go for more information. one of the sources is ... []

__Interviewer__ ok see you next time on... WIND POWER WONDER!!!!!
