Wind power is just one of nature’s wonders, handed to mankind, just waiting to be harnessed and converted into free clean energy. Renewable due to its never ending supply, cost effective to our earth by decreasing carbon emissions and faithful in its reliability.

Wind has been used for thousands of years to energize sailing ships, water pumps and grinding of grain. Interest in Wind Power as an alternate form of sustained energy has only recently gained the world’s attention. Always sceptical and slow to change, governments are dragging their heels, instead of backing this “free” energy source which is globally available with constant supply.

Farms using Wind Power, although costly with initial installation have been proven worldwide to be one of the best natural ways to produce clean energy. Recuperating costs will be achieved by selling off stored energy surplus, thus extending the benefits to more than one consumer. Wind Powered Farms cover large areas and can spoil the aesthetic view to the beholder, but with their turbines placed so high their ground footprint is minimal and look beautiful compared to a nuclear reactor plant. They are not truly carbon emission free as their turbines do emit some carbon waste, but in comparison with other sources of energy, this is insubstantial. Domestic Wind Powered Turbines are also readily available and working in conjunction with solar energy will generate enough electricity to maintain households.

Our supply of fossil fuel will eventually be exhausted, but this should not be the reason to seek out other energy sources. The carnal waste from fossil fuel has already threatened earth’s future, so therefore the adoption of clean, renewable forms of energy such as Wind Power is crucial to all inhabitants of our planet.
