In many ways, wind power is very similar to other electricity generating technologies, including burning fossil fuels and hydroelectric power. In all of these different technologies, there is something that helps to spin a turbine, which then turns that rotational energy into electricity. With fossil fuels, you are burning coal or other fossil fuel to convert water to steam in order to turn a turbine. Hydroelectric power will use flowing or falling water in order to force a turbine to move. Wind turbines, similarly, are positioned in away to take advantage of the wind as much as possible.
