Human activity since the industrial age has seen a rapid rise in environmental pollution caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Airborne pollution from carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases has risen significantly globally and this has been linked to observed climate change. Renewable energy technologies are those which are sustainable for the planet in the long term because they do not deplete stocks of limited natural resources. Wind power is a mature renewable energy technology that is able to produce a significant contribution to the world's energy needs without polluting the air or water.
