PPT-History of Wind Power

Earliest use of wind power goes back to the development of sailing ships Larger vessels built in the 19 th century could extract as much as 10000 hp Stationary wind machines were later brought into practice.

It is popular because it is abundant and provides many communities with a clean, local source of electricity, as opposed to imported fossil fuels. In the United States, which passed Germany to become the country producing the most wind power, the Department of Energy has estimated that wind power could account for 20 percent of the nation's electricity supply by 2030..
