Wind energy: The past, present and future.

For my research topic ill be focusing all about wind power. Ill be writing about it because i think its an important topic that more people need to be educated on. I want to present this to people who are interested about this topic and sources of renewable energy. Currently were running out of oil and slowly entering an energy crisis. This topic is very important because a lot of what we do every day revolves around energy.  Everyone should care because we all want to continue to do things that involve energy use. Its important to reach out to these audiences because they need to be informed what will happen if we dont change what were doing. Im glad im researching this topic because unfortunately many people are clueless when it comes to information about clean uses of energy. Ill also include graphs, pictures and statistics to get my point across.
