“As the world moves toward putting a price on carbon … wind is positioned to continue its rapid growth as a major source of electricity for the world.”

Harvesting The Wind

The earth’s wind resource is so large that it could technically provide five times the total energy consumed by the entire world from all sources.

Not only is wind the fastest-growing source of renewable electricity, but it is the fastest-growing source of any form of energy, surpassing the net additional capacity from coal-fired, gas-fired, and nuclear power plants combined.

The widespread availability of the wind resource is one of the main reasons it has become the most popular new source of electricity in the world. For the time being, wind power also has the lowest cost of any form of renewable energy other than geothermal.
