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 f 606 $aWind power 606 $aElectric power production 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWind power. 615 0$aElectric power production. 676 $a333.92 700 $aShepherd$b W$g(William),$f1928-$0969756 701 $aZhang$b Li$0958104 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464512603321 996 $aElectricity generation using wind power$92203733 997 $aUNINA
