The Fact that "Wind Energy" Does NOT Pollute is a No-Brainer

Windustry ...learn how to harvest the wind

 
 

A UN panel of scientists and over 160 governments agree that the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) is causing our climate to change dramatically. Last year the UK Government predicted that global warming will expose many millions more people to the risks of hunger, drought, flooding and diseases like malaria, and produce irreversible losses of species.

Clean, renewable forms of energy, such as wind power, are essential if we are to tackle climate change. They are also vital in ending the threat of nuclear power, which would leave a legacy of nuclear waste that will remain a threat to our health and the environment for hundreds of thousands of years.

Here's why wind power, in particular, deserves your support:

  • It's clean. Wind power does not produce dangerous waste, nor does it contribute to global warming.
  • Wind power, in combination with a full range of renewable energy technologies, such as wave and solar, could meet all of our electricity needs. Technology is being developed to store wind power as hydrogen which can then be used to power fuel cells in power stations and in vehicles. (Cars, Trucks, SUV's, Motor Homes)
  • It's affordable. The first offshore wind turbines in the UK are producing power more cheaply than our newest nuclear power station. The UK Government's figures show that all wind power will be cheaper than nuclear power by 2020. Wind 4 Energy - England
  • It works. Denmark already gets 20% of its electricity from wind power.
  • It creates jobs. The wind industry could bring thousands of new jobs to the Texas Panhandle, many of them using offshore engineering skills used by the declining oil and gas industry. If "Texas Panhandle" wind were developed to supply just 10% of Texas' electricity, then 240,000 jobs could be created.

    It's popular. Wind energy is one of the most popular energy technologies. Opinion surveys regularly show that just over eight out of ten people are in favor of wind energy, and less than one in ten (around 5%) are against it.

    Per Texas A&M Reports, if, and when, Hall County is "approved" for a "Wind Farm" it will bring over "One" Billion Dollars into Hall County within 6 Months. Thereafter each "Wind Tower" will bring in $4,800.00 per year for the owner.
