  Wind energy is one kind of solar energy which defines the process by which wind is used to generate electricity. Wind turbines change the kinetic energy into mechanical energy. Generator can convert mechanical energy into electricity. Wind energy is a clean fuel source and doesn't pollute the air like power plants that depends on combustion of fossil fuels, such as natural gas or coal. Wind turbines do not damage the atmosphere that increase health problems like asthma or create greenhouse gases or acid rain. Batteries can store electricity which is generated by wind turbines and these can be used in future when there is no wind. In this situation, energy produced is converted into compressed air. This is generally stored in underground caverns or in large above-ground tanks. One single wind turbine can be enough to generate energy for a household. As wind is the source of energy that is renewable and non-polluting, wind turbines generate energy but it does not use fossil fuels as well as without producing radioactive or toxic waste or greenhouse gases. Taking the figures from the Global Wind Energy Council, we have formed the following list of eight countries that generate the most wind energy in the world.
1. France. Cumulative installed wind power capacity: 10,358 megawatts.
2. Canada.
3. United Kingdom.
4. Spain.
