Renewable energy production is increasing. Hawaii has the highest share of petroleum use in the United States, with about 62&#37; of electricity coming from oil in 2017.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-is-electricity-generated-on-the-hawaiian-islands\"><\/span>How is electricity generated on the Hawaiian islands?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Electricity can be generated from a variety of resources. Some are fossil fuels such as oil and coal. Over 80 percent of all the energy used in Hawaii for electricity, surface and air transportation comes from imported fossil fuels, mostly oil and some coal.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-much-of-maui-is-powered-by-wind\"><\/span>How much of Maui is powered by wind?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Descending a little over half a mile (1 kilometer) down the southeast side of Pu&#39;u Kukui, the turbine field powers 10 to 15 percent of Maui&#39;s yearly electric power usage.

So the turbine can rotate into the wind smoothly.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-do-some-wind-turbines-stop-turning\"><\/span>Why do some wind turbines stop turning?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Why do the turbines not spin at times? The most common reason that turbines stop spinning is because the wind is not blowing fast enough. Most wind turbines need a sustained wind speed of 9 MPH or higher to operate. Technicians will also stop turbines to perform routine maintenance or repairs.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-a-wind-turbine-ac-or-dc\"><\/span>Is a wind turbine AC or DC?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Wind pumping systems are designed to use direct current (DC) provided by a wind turbine, although some newer versions use a variable frequency AC motor and a three phase AC pump controller that enables them to be powered directly by wind turbines.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-windmills-so-skinny\"><\/span>Why are windmills so skinny?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So narrow is better. The blade only needs to be wide enough to produce enough torque to keep the turbine&#39;s hub turning. A modern blade is often designed to taper from root to tip. This gives a good starting torque from the wide part while reducing drag at the faster moving tip.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-do-some-windmills-have-2-blades\"><\/span>Why do some windmills have 2 blades?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Two-bladed turbines cost less because they use fewer materials. The removal of one blade makes the rotor lighter, which in turn makes it possible to place the rotor on the downwind side of the tower.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-deep-are-wind-turbines-in-the-ground\"><\/span>How deep are wind turbines in the ground?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What kind of platform is a wind turbine set in?
