The '''Wind turbine''' is the modern day [[windmill]] which is marketed as a clean energy solution to replace power from fossil fuel, coal, and nuclear power plants. The addition of multiple wind turbines in the same geographical location is referred to as a wind farm. The sales pitch goes as follows, "wind turbines power millions of homes with wonderful 'free' energy". The truth is a much different story.
