Advantages of Wind energy to the world

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, wind has been the fastest growing source of electricity generation in the world through the 1990s.
With largely untapped wind energy resources throughout the country and declining wind energy costs, whole world is now moving forward into the 21st century with an aggressive initiative to accelerate the progress of wind technology and further reduce its costs, to create new jobs, and to improve environmental quality.
Advantages of wind energy:
 Wind is free.
 No fossil fuels are used to generate electricity.
 Newer technologies make energy production much more efficient.
 Wind turbines take up less space than the average power station (a few square feet for the base). The turbines can be placed in remote locations, such as offshore, mountains and deserts.
 When combined with other alternative energy sources, wind can provide a reliable supply of electricity.
