Wind

Why wind energy?

Wind is abundant. Scientists estimate that U.S. wind resources can supply more than three times our total electricity needs.

Wind is domestic. Unlike oil and, increasingly, natural gas, wind energy does not need to be imported, and helps to reduce our dependence on foreign countries.

Wind is inexhaustible. Unlike fossil fuels or uranium, wind energy is renewable and can be used without reducing the birthright of future generations.

Wind is clean. While displacing greenhouse gas emissions, using wind also avoids other harmful fossil fuel pollutants such as mercury, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides, making our air and water cleaner and healthier.

GENGREEN is developing methods through which we can bring wind energy solutions to our clients that can help them harness the potential for production through wind energy generation. We are currently working with several companies to determine what the best product for commercial installations will be. As they are currently a commodity, we can install a number of different types of wind powered wind turbines on commercial and industrial buildings to supplement their power.

Using wind energy reduces the environmental impact of generating electricity because it requires no fuel and does not produce pollution or greenhouse gases. Alberta has one of the highest wind potentials in Canada and had been the leader in producing wind energy until recently.
