Why is wind a renewable resource? Wind occurs when the Sun heats Earth unevenly: It is replenished as more energy from the Sun reaches Earth_ Winds move around Earth without stopping: After they pass a certain location, they eventually return t0 where they started: Wind occurs because of geothermal energy from Earth. It is replenished continually by this geothermal energy: Winds are made of endless amounts of energy: Capturing some of the energy in wind does not reduce the total energy of the wind
