Effects of global warming on wind energy availability

The use of wind energy reduces our greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. In this study, we proposed a generic power-law relationship between global warming and the usable wind energy (Betz’s law). The power law index (~4, region dependent) is then determined using simulated atmospheric param...
