The harnessing of wind energy to produce
power. The wind has long been used as a
source of energy: sailing ships and windmills
are ancient inventions. After the energy
crisis of the 1970s wind turbines began to be
used to produce electricity on a large scale.
By the year 2000, 10% of Denmark's energy is
expected to come from wind power.
