A community portal about Wind power with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into more useful forms, usually electricity using wind turbines. In 2005, worldwide capacity of wind-powered generators was 58,982 megawatts ; although it currently produces less than 1% of world-wide electricity use, it accounts for 23% of electricity use in Denmark, 6% in Germany and approximately 8% in Spain. Globally, wind power generation more than quadrupled between 1999 and 2005.
A Christchurch wind turbine manufacturer says it is not getting the support it should from New Zealand power companies. The likes of Meridian Energy prefer technology from overseas, but Windflow Technology insists it can match the world players.
