Wind turbines are being installed throughout the world in an increasing manner. It is exciting for me because this is a leading source of renewable energy, and contribute to sustainability. It is also exciting for me because in the past I have conducted unique research on the topic with my research partners. Here is our research study on the efficiencies of commercial wind turbines: http://ertekprojects.com/url/b and, for those who are interested, here is our research study on wind turbine accidents news: http://ertekprojects.com/wind-turbine-accidents/ Please share with me what you think, Dr. Gurdal Ertek.
