Wind energy is absoultely pollution free,inexhaustible source of energy. The mechanism of energy conversion from blowing wind is simple.The kinetic energy of wind, through turbines is converted into electrical energy. The permanent wind systems such the trade winds, westerlies and seasonal wind like monsoon have been used as source of energy. Besides these, local winds, land and sea breezes can also be used to produce electricity.
India, already has started generating wind energy.In Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka, favourable conditions for wind energy exist.Ocean currents are the store-house of infinite energy. Since the beginning of seventeenth and eighteenth century, persistent efforts were made to create a more efficient energy system from the ceaseless tidal waves and ocean current.
Large tidal waves are known to occur along the West Coast of India. Hence, India has great potential for the development of tidal energy at the coasts but so far these have not yet been utilised.

Question. Which of the following is an inexhaustible resource?
a. Geothermal
b. Solar energy

d. All of these

Question. The energy produced by the tidal power plant is
a. non-renewable and inexhaustible
b. non-polluting and exhaustible
