urban wind

For those who don't like how wind generators look, and for those who don't like how they sound.

They are coming to get you. The 15,200 MW of new wind turbines installed worldwide in 2006 will generate enough clean electricity annually to offset the carbon dioxide emissions of 23 average-sized US coal-fired power plants. The 43 million tons of CO2 displaced by those new turbines equalled more than 5% of the year's growth in global emissions. Wind power could be reducing global emissions growth by 20% in 2015.
