Wind power
The first windmill used for the production of electric power was built in Scotland in July 1887 by Prof James Blyth of Anderson's College, Glasgow (the precursor of Strathclyde University).
how much power does a wind mill produce 34.5kV what is wind power ? Wind power or wind energy is the use of wind to provide mechanical power, it is a sustainable, renewable energy source that has a much smaller impact on the environment compared to burning fossil fuels. what are public opinions related to it ? Surveys across Europe and in many other countries show strong public support for wind power. what are its environmental effects ? Eelatively minor compared to that of fossil fuels. According assessments of the life-cycle greenhouse-gas emissions of energy sources, wind turbines have a median value of 12 and 11 (geq/kWh) for offshore and onshore turbines, respectively.

Wind power [SEP] History
The first windmill used for the production of electric power was built in Scotland in July 1887 by Prof James Blyth of Anderson's College, Glasgow (the precursor of Strathclyde University). Blyth's high, the cloth-sailed wind turbine was installed in the garden of his holiday cottage at Marykirk in Kincardineshire and was used to charge accumulators developed by the Frenchman Camille Alphonse Faure, to power the lighting in the cottage, thus making it the first house in the world to have its electric power supplied by wind power. Blyth offered the surplus electric power to the people of Marykirk for lighting the main street, however, they turned down the offer as they thought electric power was "the work of the devil." Although he later built a wind turbine to supply emergency power to the local Lunatic Asylum, Infirmary, and Dispensary of Montrose, the invention never really caught on as the technology was not considered to be economically viable.
