A mericans and people around the globe have been using energy at an astounding rate. During this century, our reliance on fossil fuels and other limited energy sources has caused serious problems, including price hikes, rising asthma rates, global warming and acid rain. We now realize that it's time to change not only how we use energy, but the sources from which we get it.
Wind energy is one of our best electricity alternatives.
Wind energy benefits all of us. We cannot afford to wait to do the right thing anymore. Fossil fuels and nuclear energy are costing us too much in terms of our economy, our health, our changing climate, our lakes and rivers, and our wildlife. Wind energy is the fastest growing energy technology in the world. It currently makes up a small percentage of our total energy picture, but the rate at which it is growing promises to make it an important part of our energy mix in the future.
