Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
Invisible energy is what I'm about
It's my exclusive diet and what I give out
My job is to switch kinetic to potential
I'm usually more rural than residential
I never have objections performing for you
As long as I am fed, my job I continue
I am stable, yet my motion circuitous
My energy is practically gratuitous
I'm getting more popular these days, it would seem
Across the land, I'm becoming more widely seen
When it comes to filling the skies with pollution
I'm not the problem; I'm part of the solution
What am I?

Hint
Although I'm a technology of days of yoreMy relevance is being realized once more
There's no doubt my role as a clean energy source
In a global challenge, makes me a leading force
Answer
a windmillA windmill converts wind, which is a form of kinetic energy, into stored electricity, which is a form of potential energy, both of which are invisible.
As long as the wind keeps blowing, the windmill will continue to do its job, which is to produce electricity, in this case.
The rest is self-explanatory.

Your teaser is getting far more positive reception that mine is. I don't want to be "that guy," but I highly recommend that you see mine. It's my very first.
As a teaser, easy peasy. As an entertaining bit of creative writing, really entertaining. Rhyming potential and residential? Ha! I'm still laughing. Maybe I'm easily entertained or super geeky, but this works for me.
I also like the Hints with extra stanzas. It's like sitting through the credits at the end of a movie and finding extra scenes.
Thanks TFF!
