States with the most untapped wind energy potential

(STACKER) - Wind power is generated when kinetic energy from turbine propellers is converted to mechanical energy.Even though wind isn’t always present, turbines can still actively generate energy 90% of the time. Turbines typically need to be located at higher elevations, where winds tend to be steadier and stronger, but there are alternate ways to utilize wind energy alongside other renewable sources, as has been shown with projects in Oregon and Nevada. Turbines can also be placed on of
