The iconic Palm Springs windmills have become symbols of renewable energy. These wind turbine generators are a sophisticated form of windmill designed to produce electricity by harnessing wind power.
Located in the San Gorgonio Pass in the San Bernardino Mountains, this wind farm is one of the largest and most productive in the United States.

Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy. The essential components for wind energy include the blades, a rotor, a gearbox, and a generator.
As wind moves the blades, the rotor spins, turning the gearbox which increases the rotational speed suitable for the generator to produce electricity.
The electricity generated is then fed into the power grid.
