Wind Energy In 2013 Era equivale a prendere 20 Milioni di automobili dalla strada

Wind energy reduced power sector emissions by more than 5 percent last year, saving the same amount of CO2 as taking 20 milioni di automobili dalla strada, according to a new report.

Il rapporto, published by the American Wind Energy Association, found that wind energy production in 2013 resulted in carbon emissions reductions of 126.8 million tons. Some states achieved larger reductions than the national average, con 11 states reducing carbon emissions by 10 percent compared to 2011 levels through wind energy. Texas — a state which broke its record for highest wind generation ever in March — had the highest volume of carbon reductions, followed by Illinois, California, and Colorado.
