The World of Wind Power – The WWEApodcast

The world's first documented wind generator was installed in Austria in 1883, and now, more than 140 years later, wind power plays a crucial role in the country's electricity supply, providing 12% of the country's electricity. The country has excellent wind resources in both the mountainous and eastern parts of the country and is aiming for 100% renewable energy by 2030. Martin Jaksch-Fliegenschne...

In 20 years, China has become the world's largest wind power market, adding nearly 80 gigawatts of new wind capacity last year - two-thirds of the global market. The country has managed to build a strong domestic supply chain that is also internationally connected. Wind power now accounts for around 10% of China's electricity generation and will play an even more important role in the future. Yu G...

Canada is one of the largest countries on the planet, and as such is blessed with natural resources. During the 20th century, however, the country began to exploit its fossil energy resources and has become one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases per capita. However, the country has already made good progress in harnessing its vast renewable energy resources, notably wind power. What is th...
