Answer:

electrical

Explanation:

You want the kind of energy produced by a windmill's generator.

Windmill

A typical windmill has airfoils in the wind stream that are connected to a shaft that rotates when the wind moves them. The rotation of the shaft turns the rotor in a generator, which causes wire to move through a magnetic field, producing a current in the wire. That current represents electrical energy produced by the generator.
