We live in an age marked by a heightened awareness of environmental issues. Everywhere, there is a conscious effort to switch to alternative modes of power generation that do not pollute the environment, are sustainable and do not rely on the consumption of our already dwindling reserves of fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum. Wind power, a popular alternative energy, dates back to the time of the early settlers who used the power of the wind for crushing grains with the help of gigantic windmills having ’sails’ measuring 10 to 20 feet. However, it was not until 1979 when Danish engineers developed petite electricity generators fitted with light PVC blades capable of producing electricity that wind power became practically feasible. Those were the very first “Wind Turbines” which the world saw.
