Wind energy is a tried and tested technology that has been used for centuries. More recently it has become a popular way to generate electricity, as concern has grown about man-made Climate Change. Electricity generated from the wind does not produce any carbon dioxide, and has none of the worries associated with nuclear power. As a result, many have come to see it as a major part of the solution for man-made Climate Change. If we could generate a substantial portion of our electricity from wind, we would massively reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that we emit into the atmosphere. Furthermore, the cost of generating electricity from large wind turbines is falling, and is expected soon to be cost competitive with electricity generation from fossil fuels.
