A sweeping landscape dominated by towering three-armed windmills<\/span>. This\u00a0<\/span>s<\/span>omewhat\u00a0<\/span>futuristic scene <\/span>is included at least<\/span>\u00a0once<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>in every ad\u00a0<\/span>for<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>renewable energy<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>re<\/span>minding us of<\/span>\u00a0the immediate need to\u00a0<\/span>move away from<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>fossil fuels<\/span>\u00a0and its damaging effects on our climate and environment<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

With over 350,000 <\/span>wind<\/span>\u00a0turbines in the world today, these clean energy giants are slowing becoming a permanent fixture on our horizon. According to\u00a0<\/span>The International Renewable Energy Agency<\/span>,<\/span> wind power <\/span>will\u00a0<\/span>cover\u00a0<\/span>3<\/span>5% of\u00a0<\/span>our<\/span>\u00a0global energy needs by 2050<\/span><\/a>. If\u00a0<\/span>achieved<\/span>, t<\/span>his\u00a0<\/span>would<\/span> mean a drastic <\/span>reduction<\/span> in total CO<\/span>2\u00a0<\/span>emissions, setting the world on<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>track\u00a0<\/span>to meet the\u00a0<\/span>Paris Agreement<\/span><\/a>\u00a0goal of a\u00a0<\/span>2<\/span>\u00b0<\/span>c<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>limit\u00a0<\/span>in<\/span>\u00a0global warmi<\/span>ng<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Which way is the wind blowing?\u00a0<\/h3>

For more than a century<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the world\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0ene<\/span>rgy needs have been\u00a0<\/span>met<\/span>\u00a0by burning fossil fuels,\u00a0<\/span>with oil, coal and gas\u00a0<\/span>provid<\/span>ing<\/span>\u00a0for about 80%<\/span><\/a>\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>consumption.\u00a0<\/span>Sadly,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>this dependence cannot continue<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>With their\u00a0<\/span>high carbon content<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>combined with\u00a0<\/span>our increasing demand<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>fossil fuels\u00a0<\/span>are causing a detrimental long-term effect on our climate.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Naturally, our\u00a0<\/span>push for\u00a0<\/span>alternative energy sources like w<\/span>ind<\/span>, solar, nuclear and hydro<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>has been<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>integral in<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>our fight to reverse\u00a0<\/span>the effects of global warming<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>So<\/span>, given such high\u00a0<\/span>stakes<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>why\u00a0<\/span>is\u00a0our<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

dependence<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on carbon-fuelled electricity is still\u00a0<\/span>such\u00a0<\/span>a formidable roadblock<\/span>?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

According to the\u00a0<\/span>University of Arkansas<\/span><\/a>\u00a0our reluctance\u00a0<\/span>is\u00a0<\/span>due to\u00a0<\/span>its<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>efficiency a<\/span>s an energy sourc<\/span>e<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>The dense nature of\u00a0<\/span>fossil fuel\u00a0<\/span>m<\/span>eans<\/span>\u00a0\u2018<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>little go<\/span>es<\/span>\u00a0a long way\u2019<\/span>\u00a0making it a convenient\u00a0<\/span>habit that\u2019s hard to break. Fortunately,\u00a0<\/span>the introduction of a<\/span>n Australian<\/span>\u00a0Carbon tax<\/span>\u00a0in 2012<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>combined with\u00a0<\/span>t<\/span>he growth of renewable\u00a0<\/span>alternatives<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is helping us see\u00a0<\/span>a future beyond<\/span>\u00a0this dependence.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

What\u2019s so great about wind farms?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>

Wind fa<\/span>rms are\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>clean source of energy<\/span>, so unlike\u00a0<\/span>conventional power plants running on carbon-based fuels, they don\u2019t contribute to air pollution.\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>hey\u00a0<\/span>require little ongoing maintenance,\u00a0<\/span>are sustainable<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>extremely\u00a0<\/span>cost effective to run<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Advancements in modern design ha<\/span>ve<\/span>\u00a0also made\u00a0<\/span>opera<\/span>ting wind\u00a0<\/span>turbines<\/span>\u00a0more efficient and affordable<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>With a smaller footprint, turbines\u00a0<\/span>are now being installed\u00a0<\/span>on farms and<\/span>\u00a0residential development sites w<\/span>ith<\/span>\u00a0no<\/span>\u00a0significant\u00a0<\/span>economic impact.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Above all,\u00a0<\/span>windfarms are a majestic and serene edition to our landscape<\/span>. T<\/span>owering far about the day-to-day hustle of life, they are an\u00a0<\/span>eerie<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0yet promising reminder that there is hope for\u00a0<\/span>our future<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Future of Wind Power in Australia<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>

By world standards,<\/span>\u00a0Australia has\u00a0<\/span>exceptional wind resources<\/span><\/a>. For<\/span>\u00a0the first time in 2019<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>wind far<\/span>ms<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>over<\/span>took<\/span>\u00a0hydro<\/span><\/a>\u00a0as\u00a0<\/span>our\u00a0<\/span>leading source of clean energy<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>with\u00a0<\/span>101<\/span>\u00a0farms<\/span><\/a>\u00a0generating enough electricity to meet\u00a0<\/span>8.5<\/span>% of the nation\u2019s total demand<\/span>\u00a0–<\/span>\u00a0and these numbers are rising. Australia has an<\/span>other 30\u00a0<\/span>wind farm\u00a0<\/span>projects\u00a0<\/span>due to start or under current construction.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
