Flavin, a vice president and senior energy policy analyst at the Worldwatch Institute, reported that wind generated energy is growing in leaps and bounds. This will be the next major step for this technology and will result in a dramatic increase in decentralized electricity generation. Offshore wind has the potential to deliver substantial quantities of energy at a price that is cheaper than most of the other renewable energies, as wind speeds are generally higher offshore than on land. Innovative coastal designs in Denmark on the Kappel wind farm. As far as the wind industry in the US is concerned, June of 1999 signaled the end of the best year yet.
Many states now require that part of their energy production come from renewable sources.
In most cases, wind, as one of the lowest-cost renewable energy sources, is the primary beneficiary. Utilities as well as policymakers are continuously surprised by the public's positive response to the availability of this green power. Ultra-light Wind Eagles, some of the most effective wind turbines yet. Though wind energy is now more affordable, more available, and pollution-free, it does have some drawbacks. Wind power suffers from the same lack of energy density as direct solar radiation.
