Why wind power?

Wind is the world's fastest growing energy source.

The UK has around 40% of Europe's wind resource - enough to power the country 3 or 4 times over.

Wind generated electricity now costs the same as conventional electricity, making it the cheapest form of renewable energy.

Wind turbines produce no pollutants of any kind, making wind energy a clean, sustainable fuel source which will not run out and can be inherited by future generations.

The energy used in manufacturing, transporting and constructing a wind turbine is paid back in the first 3 to 5 months of operation.

Wind turbines can be easily removed at the end of their lifetime, typically 25 years, with no lasting environmental effects.

National surveys consistently show that wind turbines are one of the most popular renewable energy technologies - over 80% of people in the UK are in favour of wind energy.

Building new wind capacity is crucial in the fight against climate change.

Every unit of green electricity from wind power replaces a unit of conventional, polluting electricity such as coal.
