Generating electricity from wind power

Wind energy will help the UK to obtain 15% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2015. Engineers at a wind farm in Wales explain how they choose a site. We see how wind turbines are transported and assembled on site, and how they work to produce electricity for the national grid. We hear about the positive aspects of wind energy from the wind engineers and about the negative aspects from a local woman living near a proposed wind farm site.
