Why Wind Energy Wind basic fact sheet 2 of 7
A round the world, wind turbines of all sizes have become a familiar sight for a
wide variety of reasons, including, economic, environmental and social
benefits. Just as any form of energy production, it is also important to
weigh the disadvantages. The potential for wind energy is immense, experts
suggest wind power can supply up to 20% of U.S. and world electricity. However,
with these facts, today the United States still produces less than 1% of our
electricity with wind . With support from the citizens of the U.S., wind energy
can help develop our rural economies, and at the same time determine our own
energy independent future. Economic Advantages Revitalize

Wind power ready to meet looming energy gap, says report Brussels, 5 September
2006. A new report shows that many forecasts have considerably overestimated
global reserves of oil and gas. The paper entitled “Plugging the Gap –A survey
of world fuel resources and their impact on the development of wind energy ”was
launched by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) (1) and Renewable Energy
Systems Limited (RES) (2) at a press conference at the Renewable Energy House in
Brussels. The report has been prepared by RES in co-operation with GWEC and the
EUREC Agency’s Masters programme. International Energy Agency (IEA) figures
predict that 60% of the world’s energy supply could still be provided by oil and
gas by 2030 –with demand for electricity doubling.

The slip ring is a small but critical
part of a wind turbine’s control system. It, and the many other components, must
operate flawlessly so the turbine operators receive the performance and revenues
they demand. With so much at stake, you need to select a supplier that has
proven they can deliver the performance and value needed in this application.
This slip ring technology was originally developed for space applications, which
demand long life, high reliability and minimum wear debris generation. Back on
earth, the technology has demonstrated exceptionally long brush and ring life in
both signal and power applications on products ranging from packaging equipment
to tilt rotor aircraft. Aunique feature of fiber brush technology is its ability
to achieve remarkable life in most applications without lubrication, resulting
in a part with a wide operating temperature range and speed. When

Christine Stebbins STEWARD, Illinois -- For 150 years, farmer Dennis Cradduck's
family grew corn and soybeans along a ridge. For the past 20 months, he's also
been harvesting the wind . He and his neighbors collect rent from one of the
largest wind farms in the Midwest, with more propeller-topped towers foreseen on
the heartland's horizon. "When my wife and I first got married, she said the
wind always blows out here. There's got to be something we can do with this
land. Thirty-five years later, we found something we could do with it," Cradduck
said on his central Illinois farm 75 miles west of Chicago. There are 63 wind
turbines on 3,500 acres of corn and soybean fields that Cradduck and eight other
neighboring farmers lease to Minneapolis-based Navitas

In the 1920s and ‘30s, farm families
throughout the Midwest used wind to generate enough electricity to power their
lights and electric motors. The use of wind power declined with the government-
subsidized construction of utility lines and fossil fuel power plants. However,
the energy crisis in the 1970s and a growing concern for the environment
generated an interest in alternative, environmentally friendly energy resources.
Today, home- owners in rural and remote locations across the nation are once
again examining the possibility of using wind power to pro- vide electricity for
their domestic needs. This publication will help you decide whether a wind
system is practical for you. It will explain the benefits, help you assess your
wind resource and possible sites, discuss legal and environmental obstacles, and
