Wind energy is an important non-fossil option to supplement fossil (coal, natural gas and oil) and nuclear fuels for the generation of electricity. Many parts of the world, particularly the coastlines of Western Europe, North Africa, North and South America, India, Eastern Russia, China, the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand, experience a high annual incidence of wind energy. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, together with the Republic of Ireland form a particularly windy location, being fWind powerElectric power productionWind power.Electric power production.333.92Shepherd W(William),1928-1678480Zhang Li1142284MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812390903321Electricity generation using wind power4046181UNINA
