Abstract
Harnessed for centuries to pump water or mill grain, wind power now has tremendous potential as a clean alternative to fossil fuels, a means to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also to keep our daily lives running along. The trick is to find the right places to build the big, wind-catching turbines while continuing to garner public support.Keywords
