Wind power is basically turning the air's kinetic energy (wind) into electricity with wind turbines.
It is renewable and it has no exhausts to air, ground or water.
Wind power depends a lot on the weather. Tranquil days are no problem as long as only a part of the used power is produced with wind power and it is produced in multiple places. In Finland that problem doesn't even exist, because the Finnish weather is only rarely tranquil.
In order to function, a wind turbine requires a wind of 3,5 metres/second, but when the wind reaches 25 metres/second, the turbines usually will be shut down, so they won't break down.
A wind turbine will used for about 20-25 years.

In Finland wind power is a quite new way of producing electricity and it has kicked of very well.
In 2015 there were 124 new wind turbines installed, meaning the total of 387 wind turbines.
From the full use of electricity on Finland, wind power covered 2,8 % in 2015. Not much, but more than last year.
