Read the following passage and answer the question below. Wind energy has become one of the fastest-growing sources of renewable electricity worldwide, harnessing the power of moving air to generate clean electricity without producing direct greenhouse gas emissions. Modern wind turbines use large rotating blades connected to a generator, converting the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy that can be fed into the power grid. Wind farms can be located onshore, typically in open plains or hilly regions with consistent wind patterns, or offshore, where stronger and more consistent ocean winds can generate even greater amounts of electricity. While wind energy offers significant environmental benefits, it also faces challenges, including the intermittent nature of wind, concerns about noise and visual impact on surrounding communities, and the potential danger turbines pose to birds and bats. Engineers continue to develop larger and more efficient turbine designs, as well as improved energy storage solutions, to help integrate wind power more effectively into national electricity grids alongside other renewable sources. Question: According to the passage, how do wind turbines generate electricity?
