Abstract :
In recent years, many nations have been creating newer, more efficient forms of energy and appropriate legislation with which to drive these new economic frontiers. Countries in Europe, parts of Asia, and the Americas, such as the U.S., China, and Germany, are in the forefront of this technological and environmental revolution, and, as a result, have seen large support and success in the endeavor for cleaner energy. Modern variable-axis wind turbines have been and are continuing to be very popular and moderately efficient forms of this clean energy. Changes in American energy policy have facilitated the transition towards new energy systems, including wind energy; however, Louisiana-which is largely an oil and gas state-is not showing much, if any, initiative to capitalize and integrate towards these energy sources. An outline of the economic growth of Europe, China, and the whole U.S.A will show that this industry, supported by manufacturers and labor sources, is a viable and profitable form of clean energy.
