}Abstrac t—Man has harnessed the energy in wind for thousands of years, both for sailing boats and powering wind mills at land. Of all renewable energy sources, wind power is the most mature in terms of commercial development. This energy source is interesting because of its renewability and its availability. Potential for development is huge, and the world’s capacity is far larger than the world’s total energy consumption. Worldwide, a total capacity of about 60 000 MW have been installed, with… Show Figures from this paper54 CitationsReferencesSHOWING 1-2 OF 2 REFERENCES What are the environmental impacts of wind energy?Wind turbines do not release emissions that can pollute the air or water (with rare exceptions), and they do not require water for cooling. Wind turbines may also reduce the amount of electricity generation from fossil fuels, which results in lower total air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions.
