Global Wind Day is celebrated on 15 June 2014, Sunday. It is observed worldwide and organized by EWEA i.e. European Wind Energy Association and GWEC i.e. Global Wind Energy Council. The day marks the importance of wind energy, its power and possibilities to change the world. It is mostly celebrated by exchanging information about wind power and conducting events, workshops, wind parades etc.

- “Because wind blows intermittently, electric utilities must either keep their conventional power plants running all the time to make sure the lights don’t go dark, or continually ramp up and down the output from conventional coal- or gas-fired generators (called ‘cycling’). But coal-fired and gas-fired generators are designed to run continuously, and if they don’t, fuel consumption and emissions generally increase. A car analogy helps explain: An automobile that operates at a constant speed—say, 55 miles per hour—will have better fuel efficiency, and emit less pollution per mile traveled, than one that is stuck in stop-and-go traffic.”
- “Wind generates only when it is blowing, and it blows least when power is most valuable. At peak demand hours in 2006, wind plants in both California and Texas produced below 3% of their potential. To maintain reliability will require continued investment in full-scale backup generation. Wind generation is itself expensive even at today’s fuel prices, it requires a massive federal tax credit to survive. A national policy that creates jobs in renewables destroys them elsewhere. Forcing people and businesses to buy expensive power leaves them less to spend on other goods and investments in future productivity.”
