Have you ever been to a farm? What did you see there? What did they grow there? Rice? Maybe some cows and chickens? How about electricty? Have you even seen a farm that produces electricity?

They are very popular in some places in America and are becoming more popular in Europe. Have you ever seen one in Japan? Do you think it is a good idea to use wind power to generate electricty? What problems would wind farms create?
