Today windpower provides enough power for over 20 million people. That means enough power for between 170 - 300 households. Because of the natural variability of wind, some years will be better than others.
Wind power is clean, quiet and safe.
A 660 kW wind turbine on the waterfront displaces approximately 1,400,000 kilograms of CO2 per year, one of the most dangerous greenhouse gases influencing climate change. Wind power also does not create the sulphur and nitrous oxides that come from coal plants and contribute to smog. Each year our turbine will save the equivalent in CO2 of over 800 round trips from Toronto to Miami Beach in a minivan. Noise One of the first questions people ask about wind power concerns noise. Modern turbines are quieter than ever because of advances in blade and machinery design.
