Many places on Earth are beginning to benefit from advances in wind power technology particularly with newer wind turbine designs.
Wind turbines have been the main political movement to greener energy production in many nations, with goals set has high as 30% for some countries.
The biggest area that still has to be resolved is the storage of large quantities of energy, the main temporary energy storage used currently is water damning. To fully be able to exploit any intermittent energy source like wind we must be able to convert energy into something that can be stored efficiently.
