Wind energy can make a significant difference in the battle against global warming. It is a state-of-the art, mature technology that can be deployed fast and on a large scale, virtually anywhere in the world. The international trade organisation Global Wind Energy Council now has launched the campaign "WIND POWER WORKS" to promote power. SAERTEX is among the sponsors.

Given the right political conditions, wind energy could supply the world with 13 per cent of its power needs – and save the atmosphere an additional 1,500 million tons of CO2 every year. The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), an international union of major players in the wind energy market, hopes to bring this fact and others to light with its campaign ‘ WIND POWER WORKS’.

The global campaign will be launched in December 2008 in connection with the COP 14 Conference in Poznan in Poland and culminate at the COP 15 Climate Summit in Copenhagen in December 2009.
