Wind energy
Wind energy is the world's fastest growing energy source. Clean and reliable, power generated from wind turbines has almost no environmental cost.
And wind energy is powerful. Today, wind farms provide bulk power equivalent to conventional power stations. By the beginning of 2004, global wind power installation had reached a level of 40,300 megawatts - enough power to satisfy the needs of close to 47 million people.
Almost 50 countries around the world now use wind power and approximately 90,000 to 100,000 are employed by the wind industry worldwide.
