| Wind Power Growth Drivers |
Amongst all renewable energy sources, Wind Energy is most viable due to its technological advances making it economically feasible and ideal for large scale power production.
The staggering growth of the global wind energy markets are being driven by a number of factors, including the wider context of energy supply and demand, the rising profile of environmental issues, especially climate change, and the impressive improvements of the technology itself. |
| Environmental concerns |
Science is clear: if we are to avoid the worst ravages of climate change, global emissions need to start declining before 2020.
The power sector is not the only culprit when it comes to climate change, but it is the largest source of emissions, accounting for about 40% of CO2 and 25% of overall emissions.
Wind energy is the only power generation technology that will be able to make a substantial difference in CO2 emissions in the crucial timeframe up to 2020. It is quick to install, and on track to saving 10 billion tons of CO2 by 2020. |
