OurWorld 2.0: Is Global Wind Power Turning Around?
16 March, 2009
We have seen turbines on a distant hill during a trip or heard talk of wind farms, and many of us would be using this green option if only our local power utility would offer it
Likewise, we have heard that governments around the world are increasing renewable energy production targets to battle climate change and reduce reliance on dwindling fossil fuels. However, is wind power really that hot or just a gimmick?
The answer to that question depends on the country. Wind power development has historically varied from place to place, being influenced by factors like availability of fossil fuel resources in some regions or anti-nuclear sentiment in others.
