Among all the alternative energy sources wind power has been active, in the back ground for years. I have involved with large and small wind power projects over last 20 years! yes since while attending high school.
My first wind power project was to provide wind powered water pumps to poor villagers in developing countries in Africa and Asia. They were very simple water pumps to bring ground water to surface so that villagers had enough clean water to drink, for small plot farming etc. I have since gone into larger ideas.
But if you are even a little interested in wind energy, this report should fill up a lot of gaps in your knowledge or enhance the knowledge you already have. For instance did you know that in 2007, the US wind energy took a 46% surge with 5329 MW added to the system.
