Wind map aids energy plans.(Worldwatch)

GLOBAL Researchers at Stanford University in the USA have produc a novel global wind-speed map that could help improve the location of power-generating wind turbines. The investigation which was partly funded by dint of NASA, analysed wind-speed data from more than 8000 locations worldwide.
Using of recent origin techniques to estimate wind make hastes 80 metres above ground level--the nave height of modern wind turbines the researchers ground that nearly 13 by means of cent of the stations had average
