Wind Power Works... pass it on

The global wind energy industry has launched a new public awareness campaign called “Wind Power Works… Pass it on” which aims to catalyze wide spread support for wind energy and call on policy makers to commit to significant carbon emissions reductions to combat climate change.

As the countdown to Copenhagen continues and fears grow that the Climate
Summit will not make the deep cuts in carbon emissions required, the new
campaign sounds a more positive note. Launched on the Global Wind Day (15
June), the campaign urges people all round the world to generate the power of
change and to send a message to world leaders that they can make the deep cuts needed and still power the world.

Steve Sawyer, Secretary General of the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) said, “We have the technology to transform the global energy system, and we can do so rapidly. That’s an important message for our leaders to hear so that they
commit to making the cuts so desperately required, and we want it delivered in
the strongest terms possible.”

Wind power is the only clean technology which is ready now and which can be
immediately and rapidly deployed virtually anywhere in the world. It is already
the fastest growing new generation source both in Europe and the US, and has
the capacity to provide up to 12% of the world’s energy needs by 2020, saving
over 10 billion tons of CO2 in the process.
