Man-made climate change is the greatest global threat that we face today. Not to take action to address it and the severe impacts that it will bring to all of our live is completely irresponsible ! To reduce our CO2 emissions ,wind power and other renewables are essential along with energy efficiency Wind power - Bring it on !!!
Greenpeace needs to support all viable wind farm planning applications and lend all its support at the planning stages. Many so called charitable organisations object for the most ridiculous reasons. I attended a planning meeting recently simply to look someone in the face that truly believed the temporary distant view from their window is more important that survival of our planet. Society was developed to protect these people from themselves. Support wind farms and save the planet.
We're not really "doomed" as you would say. Once we acknowledge the fact that what we're doing right now needs to change. Very much evolve as human beings. Let's face it, the planet has always taken care of itself. It's you who will not see the living daylights again.
Glad you liked it MissPirate - you can download a low resolution version at the Greenpeace UK website at /climate/the-wind-revised-version-2003. Sorry I can't give the full address but YouTube doesn't accept full URLs (web addresses).
When wind speed drops by half the energy contained within the wind drops by 1/2*1/2*1/2 or about 88%.
To power all of the UK from wind alone would require a windfarm that stretched along nearly the entire coast. Wind turbines also have an annoying tendancy to kill endangered raptors.
Was this prophetic in 2001. Are we now making this wishful thinking come true? or is it too little, too late?

It's a shame that it's impossible for my country to live off of natural energy like that.

If we continue doing what we are doing at the moment, and do nothing about climate change, then yes, we ARE all doomed.
