“Wind Energy is a Key Climate Change Solution”, Article from The Guardian

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2015/dec/10/wind-energy-is-a-key-climate-change-solution

This article mainly discusses the benefits of wind energy in dealing with climate change, primarily through via an interview with Vestas CEO Anders Runevad. It briefly touches on all the benefits of wind energy, its lower costs compared to fossil fuels, and challenges in adapting wind power to regions already relying on fossil fuels or nuclear power. While an interesting read, I was hoping it would look a little more at some of the challenges in predicting how to best utilize wind power in anticipation of changing climates.

I did see a scientific article looking at the subject in my searching, but it was in Science Direct and there was a charge for the full article. Maybe the school library has full access to that site, so here’s the link for anyone interested in checking: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364032109001713
