A wind energy development in Scotland has
opened its doors to teach local children about the benefits of
renewable energy.
Whitelee Wind Farm features more than 100 wind turbines and
produces enough renewable energy to power almost 200,000 homes in
the local area, reports Deutsche Welle.
David Moody from the Glasgow Science Centre explained that the
wind farm development is helping to educate the youngsters about
how renewable energy is produced.
One of the parts of the tour is a workshop that teaches kids how
the farm makes the most of the renewable energy sources available to it.
"The aim is to find out what shape of blade works most
efficiently," he said. "They always seem to enjoy this."
Whitelee Wind Farm is located just 20 minutes from the centre of
Glasgow in Scotland and has a visitor centre, as well as a cafe,
for people to spend the day learning about renewable energy.
