Which pattern of organization is being used in this passage?
For at least 4,000 years, the wind has been used as an energy source. Unlike fossil
fuel energy (such as diesel oil or gasoline), wind energy is unlimited. Another
difference is that wind energy produces no pollution when it is used to create
electricity. Large windmills or wind turbines capture the wind; the energy from the
turning blades produces electricity. Another distinction is that wind is the fastest
growing energy source in the world.
