  2. Wind power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power

    Offshore wind power currently has a share of about 10% of new installations. Wind power is one of the lowest-cost electricity sources per unit of energy produced. In many locations, new onshore wind farms are cheaper than new coal or gas plants. Regions in the higher northern and southern latitudes have the highest potential for wind power.
