Key Question/Answer Opinions/Synthesis Words How much of Canada’s power Canada I think that it is great that Canada is wind power? Megawatts is starting to use more wind 5177 megawatts Projected power. I think that the fact that Projected for 2015 2015 wind turbines stop people from 16392.6 megawatts building there house nearby is Can power over 1 good in Canada. I like this million homes because it keeps Canada less packed, and keeps the houses, communities, and cities farther apart. How much of Manitoba’s Manitoba I that it is unfortunate that power is wind power? Megawatts we do not make as much as 242 megawatts Projected larger provinces such as Québec projected for 2015 2015 and Ontario, but I’m happy that none we are about even with similar 5th to last in Canada sized provinces such as out of 11 Saskatchewan and British provinces/territories Columbia. On the other hand I feel disappointed that we make less than Nova Scotia, but it makes sense since they do live on the ocean. How reliable are these wind Reliable I think that since they are quite turbines? Turbines reliable I feel even more They are quite reliable Inspection confident that wind is the best Only need regular Calm days way of generating energy. In inspection as do all Rural response to the fact that you machines Long cables have to run the cables a long Only thing is that on distance, I learned that it is not a calm days they don’t problem in Manitoba because produce much since we live on the prairies it is electricity much easier to string these Also they are out cables long distances safely. in rural areas. This means that they have to run long cables to the areas that need the power How do generators work? Convert Personally I think that if I were to Convert energy into Energy make a generator it would be electrical energy Magnets best to spin the wire inside a Copper wire Copper magnet. The only problem with around magnets or Spin this is that you would need to
