How does wind energy work? I know a little, but does anyone have a clearer idea?

Lizzy K asked:


I’ve tried some internet sites, but none of them have given me any real idea of how it works except “It turns the blades and generates electricity”

I am really interested in Wind energy, and how it works. Anyone have a somewhat clearer explanation for me? Thanks.
