Abstract: Abstract How much of the world’s electricity needs could actually be met using wind energy? This is a question of fundamental importance. Detractors of wind energy, and of renewable energy in general, often assert that modern renewable energy will never contribute more than a few per cent of world energy demand and is therefore not worthy of serious consideration. Is such scepticism justified?
