Wind Energy Cutting CO2

There is huge and growing global demand for emissions-free wind power, which can be installed quickly, virtually everywhere in the world. Wind energy is the only power generation technology that can deliver the necessary cuts in CO2 in the critical period up to 2020, when greenhouse cases must peak and begin to decline to avoid dangerous climate change. The 120 GW of global wind capacity in place at the end of 2008 will produce 260 TWh and save 158 million tons of CO2 every year.
Steve Sawyer
Secretary General of GWEC. The quote is derived from comments Sawyer made on wind energy and its advantages in the case of reducing CO2.
