Wind energy is converted to electric power.
Eastern Washington lies in a rain shadow with strong, consistent winds (especially along the Columbia Gorge), so wind farms produce significant electricity. The rain shadow actually increases irrigation needs (not lowers energy use), and the region isn’t known for uniquely extreme cold that would drive higher home‑heating energy use.
