Choose the incorrect statement regarding wind power.

Options

• It is expected to harness wind power to minimum in open space.

• The potential energy content of wind blowing at high altitudes is the source of wind power.

• Wind hitting the blades of a windmill causes them to rotate. The rotation thus achieved can be utilised further.

• One possible method of utilising the energy of rotational motion of the blades of a windmill is to run the turbine of an electric generator.
