Wind velocities in winter markedly exceed the summer ones (Fig. 2d). Practically everywhere in the Aral region their mean monthly values exceed 3 ms reaching in some places even 5 ms and more, which makes these territories rather attractive in terms of small-scale wind energy development. Strong winds and loose soils -the consequence of the Aral desiccation - create a serious environmental problem as salt and sand drift from the exposed seabed in addition to transfer of chemicals that were once brought into the sea from the fields with river waters. Every year from coastal areas that were up to quite recently at the bottom of the Aral Sea the wind puts adrift more then 75,000 tons of sand and salts [5] and transports them hundreds of kilometers. This causes progressive soil salinization in the Aral Region.

Solar and wind energy account for less than 2 percent of the use of renewable energy (see Figure 2). Nevertheless, there are some important developments. The greatest increase in wind energy is outside the United States however, in 1997 the United States led the world for new wind generating systems by... 

What are the opportunities for using forms of energy that do not lead to CO2 formation Nuclear power from fission reactors presents problems with the handling and deposition of nuclear waste. Fusion reactors are more appealing, but may need several decades of further development. However, solar and wind energy offer realistic alternatives.

Wind energy Wind turbines capture the energy from the wind to produce electricity. They have been developed for various purposes, from large groups of grid-connected wind turbines, wind farms, both onshore and offshore, to very small autonomous turbines used for battery charging or in combined wind-diesel projects for off-grid application.

One megawatt (1.0 MW) of electricity is sufficient to meet the needs of about 350 households within a developed nation. As per Figure 19.32, Europe expects to have a wind energy capacity of 180,000 MW by 2020. How many households is this ...
