Problems and
Challenges
|
It has become
increasingly clear that there are very serious
difficulties related to sustainability and security
of energy. These include:
|
- Major global and regional impacts on the
environment, climate change and health stemming from an
over exploitation of conventional energy sources.
|
|
 |
-
Demand for affordable and
clean energy sources will increasingly grow over the
coming years especially in view of providing fuels
and electricity to a significant portion of the
world's population to help improve their quality of
life.
|
-
Increasingly poor geographical co-relations between
energy sources and users.
|
-
Inefficient and wasteful use of conventional energy resources.

How Wind Energy can help |
The
Governments of
many countries around the world are increasingly
recognizing the value of wind energy as a vital
component of long-term, sustainable economic and
environmental well-being, as well as ensuring security of
energy price and supply.
Governments are encouraging the wind industry
to grow by providing incentives that
support long-term, affordable, efficient |
|
 |
and
clean energy renewable
resources as a whole and wind power in
particular.
At the same time, enlightened and forward-thinking
energy companies have established renewable energy
business units and investment portfolios that
address corporate policy and future economic
sustainability, as well as financial performance
based on enhanced utilization of wind
power. |
