Reducing greenhouse gas emissions: The use of wind energy helps reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2).

Helps readers understand and appreciate what the history of wind power can teach us about technology innovation and provides the implications for both wind power today and its future
