no doubt the wind is very important as an excellent source of energy alternative. More and more countries are building wind farms and Mexico is already in the list of nations that invest in wind generation. The first on the list are China, United States and Spain, while Mexico is at No. 26. However, during 2011 there will be a significant investment by our country in this form of energy, shows how seriously we are facing the challenge to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. This information comes from the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA), a non-profit association operating at global level and promoting the implementation of wind technology ( www.wwindea.org ).
95 countries are part of the WWEA and Mexico, the Mexican Association for Energy Wind (AMDEE) represents us. www.amdee.org On its Web explains that since 2005 the AMDEE has been working to "promote the development and growth of the wind energy industry in Mexico through the construction, installation, operation and maintenance large-scale wind farms and promote the development of domestic industry linked to the production, transmission and supply of parts for this industry. "
The key to maintaining a source of long-term energy that could replace oil is that it is renewable, constant and clear (or zero-emission carbon). is also essential if we are to halt climate change. The wind is natural, strong in certain strategic geographic locations and, of course, free. As AMDEE says: "renewable energy is vital to continue the transition energy from polluting forms of energy toward cleaner forms of energy that reduce the threats to our health and benefit balance for sustainable development in the environment over the next years. " is not only clean but also economical, low-impact, safe, popular and generates jobs. Spain and Denmark and for more than 20% of its electricity from wind power and the same is possible in Mexico.
Currently, according to information AMDEE, Mexico has a total installed capacity in 2010 of 518.63 MW, including wind farms La Venta I and II (CFE), Mexico Ecological Park (Iberdrola), Eurus (CEMEX ), Government of Baja California (GBC), Bii Nee Stipa I (Cisa-Gamesa) and La Mata, La Ventosa (EDF). All, with the exception of Baja California, are located in the State of Oaxaca, just on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, where the winds are unique and perfect for achieving energy capture wind.
There are more projects in progress, in Oaxaca, Baja California and Tamaulipas, leveraging the significant potential of wind energy resources of our country: more than 10,000 MW and 40,000 MW Oaxaca only to Mexico. This is excellent news and the reason I'm sharing this information. In Morelos do not have much wind and a park of this type would not be feasible for us. But take what nature gives us in other parts of the country is important, especially because it is easily accessible, free, clean and never break. If you've never seen the wind farm turbines worth going to YouTube (www.youtube.com ) and find a video on the subject, there are many. The turbines are huge, powerful, elegant and very high and watch them in action is something extraordinary. The are installed in the ground, others at sea and work simply with the help of the wind 24 hours a day.
not much wind we have to regulate in Morelos, but we do have plenty of sunshine, almost every day, even in cold weather like this and this is another excellent source of clean energy. What we should do is install solar panels on our homes to heat water and generate power, which could be our personal contribution to the effort to mitigate the severe effects of climate change.
