This comprehensive survey examines the history of wind power, from early people's basic technology to harness the wind for basic mechanical tasks (such as turning grain to flour) through today's "Wind Rush." The process of building a wind farm and the growth of offshore wind farms are included. Color imagery helps illuminate the text as well as inspire the imagination. An extensive list of resources will enable individuals, entrepreneurs, and advocates to tap into this free, natural, and clean source of energy. 000330846 650_0 $$aWind power$$xHistory. 000330846 650_0 $$aWind power. 000330846 85200 $$bgen$$hTJ820$$i.G54$$i2008 000330846 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:330846$$pGLOBAL_SET 000330846 980__ $$aBIB 000330846 980__ $$aBOOK
