Wind is picking up
Add comment April 24th, 2006
We can harness the energy contained within the wind. We can use it to power much of our lives. In the process, we’re not burning fossil fuels as the source or emitting CO2. And it’s estimated that our energy consumption will increase 60 percent over the next 20 years. It’s no wonder, wind is picking up.
as reported by Voice of America…
The wind power industry is growing rapidly: it has increased 23 to 30 percent in each of the last five years. It is clean, abundant, ever-renewable, and free from producer boycotts or embargoes.
You’ll find a couple good videos on the VOA.com website.
Whether we’ve not paid attention, or have allowed our attention to be diverted by Big Oil doesn’t matter anymore. It’s a good time to learn about powering a large portion of our lives with wind instead of fossil fuels.
In fact, let’s make fossil fuels the alternative energy of the future. Wind and solar energy surrounds us, as do other forms. They’ve been there all along.
