Being a renewable source of energy, it can be replenished again and again, without the fear of it getting it getting over. It is believed that there is abundant wind energy present in the atmosphere, more than that is required by the whole world. The potential of wind power on land and near-shore is close to 72 terawatts (TW). This is calculated to be over five times the world's current energy use in all forms.

The wind energy sector is growing rapidly with the growth registering at the pace of 28% a year for the past five years. If this rate continues, wind capacity will double about every three or four years. One of the major technologies of wind energy in use today is the wind turbines. The wind turbines work by transforming the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power, which is the n used generate electricity.

Wind energy is one of the cheapest and also the cleanest source of energy. The environmentalist’s preferred choice of alternate energy as it does not produce any harmful gases and does not contribute to greenhouse effect. Owing to its great advantages and the wind power investment opportunities, the wind sector is attracting a great deal of investor attention. ]]> Grimaud http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/community/solar-wind-energy/2731-pollution-free-energy.html Hello All http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/community/introduce-yourself/2730-hello-all.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:06:27 GMT I am new here in this forum.........

Save the planet while doing so http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/community/general-off-topic/2729-use-facebook-save-planet-while-doing-so.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:07:45 GMT There are a couple of apps on Facebook that are good for the planet.

One is a farm game that saves 1 sq ft of rainforest for gifts you send to 10 friends(not sure of the exact amount though).

Another one is Login | Facebook( Forest game)

This one helps with carbon emissions.

Try this one out and if you're there, let me know your facebook name and I'll add you to my friends list to give you the info on the farm game. ]]> General Off-Topic horselover http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/community/general-off-topic/2729-use-facebook-save-planet-while-doing-so.html Which is a good book for Thermodynamics? http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/community/climate-change/2728-good-book-thermodynamics.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:39:50 GMT Tell me the name of book for thermodynamics which is easily to understood.

I'm really interested in the planet and sustainable energy, but I am also a heavy skeptic on new-wavey sustainable energy ideas. I think in order to be sustainable, any new scheme has to not only obey the laws of physics, but also the rules of economics

See you in the forums! :cool: ]]> Introduce Yourself koala http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/community/introduce-yourself/2726-hello-everyone.html Hello! http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/community/introduce-yourself/2725-hello.html Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:55:47 GMT I live in Toronto, and love the city...

I signed up here many moons ago, and posted as well, with a tip I found super, but never found my post!

I cannot even find my User Name in the Members List, and I need to tell you it is very hard to feel part of a community this way. Too bad, considering we "meet" here because we have a common desire to help the planet. :( ]]> Introduce Yourself Torontonian http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/community/introduce-yourself/2725-hello.html
