The job creation potential of wind energy and the effects of global warming on our society todayGlobal warming is a important factor in today's society. It's an impressive example of energy innovation, yet one of these gigantic wind towers provides clean, renewable energy through a simple mechanical feat: rotating turbines turn a generator that powers hundreds of homes. (Michael Kenny, 2009) The wind works. Over the past four decades, wind power has provided an increasing share of the energy we consume. Today, wind farms generate approximately 50,000 megawatts of clean, renewable energy, the equivalent of the energy produced by 12 Hoover Dams. As this report illustrates, clean, renewable energy is just the beginning of what we get from increasing the number of wind farms. across the country. The wind industry now employs 75,000 Americans. American companies and their workers produce about 65 percent of each wind turbine part. Wind energy gives American businesses the chance to participate in new and exciting global industries, American workers the chance to apply their existing skills and seek new opportunities....
