Why Windpower?

• The UK is the windiest country in Europe with greater wind speeds during the colder months of the year, when energy demand is at its highest.
• Wind power is the most mature 'tried and tested' renewable energy resource. Denmark already generates 20% of its electricity from wind power.
• Wind power does not produce dangerous waste or produce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases whilst generating electricity.
• Modern wind turbines are more efficient and have greater power outputs than previous designs.
• A single modern wind turbine can generate enough electricity to power nearly 14000 homes.
• Modern wind turbines are significantly quieter than older turbine designs.
• Modern wind turbines are increasingly being regarded as elegant and beautiful structures and seen as symbols of a less polluted future.
