Why do jet streams bend?
Jet streams are very high, constantly branching like rivers and changing in height and speed. The wind bends because of the Earth's movement: instead of simply moving from cold to warm areas, it is deflected by the Coriolis force generated by the rotation of the planet and moves along the boundaries of air masses.

Do people use jet streams to generate electricity?
Some experts also suggest to use jet streams to generate electricity, but so far there is no technology (wind generators are not so easy to locate at an altitude of 10 kilometers), or enough research to prove that it will be profitable and will not harm the climate.
