- Summary
- "Currently the world's fastest-growing source of energy, wind generation offers hope for a partial solution to our energy problems by converting nature's energy into electricity without exposing our planet and its inhabitants to the dangers of heat, pollution, toxicity, or depletion of irreplaceable natural resources. Windfall tells the story of wind energy's extraordinary growth in the past decade and examines the arguments both for and against its use."-- Back cover
