Wind - Renewable Energy Now

 

Why apply wind energy now?

Wind has the potential to replace and surpass nuclear energy

 

The graph shows the development of wind energy production in Germany from 1999 to 2008 compared to Swedish and Finnish nuclear energy ditto. Sweden is, compared to Germany, larger, has a better wind energy potential and is less densely populated. These facts have been noticed by the The Swedish Energy Agency which has proposed a planning target of 30 TWh of wind by 2020. This equals 20% of the country's present energy consumption.
