I’m between radiant energy to mechanical and kinetic energy to mechanical

The energy in wind CAME from radiant energy originally, but it isn't
radiant energy any more.  It's the energy in the mass of moving air,
and that's KINETIC energy.

You could move the turbine blades with stones or pingpong balls,
push the blades with your hands, or shoot water at them from a hose. 
In any case, you'd have moving mass with kinetic energy transfer that
energy to the turbine.  A moving mass of air does the same thing.

Iread this book last year so take this with a grain of salt.gene jumps from the tree to compete with finny due to the fact that gene is always trying to do better than finny. he is put under the grasp of peer pressure due to finny almost forcing him to do this. ever since he first jumped finny kept pressuring him to jump since he thought gene enjoyed jumping.rather than uses this answer you should probably just reread chapters 3-4
