Worldwide, more than 80 % of our energy needs are still covered by fossil fuels. Under these circumstances, can climate change still be stopped? Essential technologies for usage of wind energy with an emphasis on high-altitude wind utilization are presented. Airborne wind energy is one of the most promising technologies to enable a renewable energy turnaround in an economical way. The main problem of conventional renewable energy is the insufficient availability. To ensure a 100 % supply of renewable energy, enormous and very expensive storage capacities would have to be built up. How we can cover our entire energy needs (electricity, mobility and heat) in the future without fossil fuels, without risking the competitiveness of our economy, is shown in this book. 410 0$aGreen Energy and Technology,$x1865-3537 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aSustainability 606 $aWind power 606 $aRenewable energy sources 606 $aOffshore structures 606 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management 606 $aSustainability 606 $aWind Energy 606 $aRenewable Energy 606 $aOffshore Engineering 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aWind power. 615 0$aRenewable energy sources. 615 0$aOffshore structures. 615 14$aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management. 615 24$aSustainability. 615 24$aWind Energy. 615 24$aRenewable Energy. 615 24$aOffshore Engineering. 676 $a621.312136 700 $aAhrens$b Uwe$01452962 702 $aHecht$b Markus 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910767540903321 996 $aAirborne wind energy$93655370 997 $aUNINA
