காற்றில் மின்சாரம் தயாரிக்கும் முறைஇப்பொழுது அமலாக்கபடுகிறது.குறிப்பாக வனப்பகுதி அருகில் பறவைகள், பாலுட்டி இனங்களின் இனபபெரூக்கதை தடைசெய்யும்என்பது அண்டை நாடுகளில் கண்டுஅறியப்பட்ட உண்மை ஆகும்.அமைதி பள்ளத்தாக்கு தேசிய பூங்கா (Silent Valley National Park) மிக விறைவில் அதில் இடம்பெறும்என்பதில் ஐயமில்லை. Following article by Mr. Shankar Sharma will enlighten our knowledge about wind mill.
