Our electric bill this month (the end of March) has almost doubled from the month of February.  With the price of fuel skyrocketing from surging natural-gas prices, brought on by many things – the Ukraine crisis, winter demand and a global supply shortage being made worse by the volatile market according to the Wall Street Journal. 

As a result of higher fuel prices, the cost of almost everything will continue to go higher, from the cost of growing food to transportation costs, and in general just about everything!

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, most of the nation's electricity was generated by natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy in 2019. Electricity is also produced from renewable sources such as hydropower, biomass, wind, geothermal, and solar power.

Hydropower is the most widely-used renewable power source, accounting for more than 18% of the world’s total installed power generation capacity and more than 54% of the global renewable power generation capacity.

Wind is the second most widely used renewable energy source, as global installed wind power capacity accounting for approximately 24% of the world’s total renewable energy generation capacity.

Solar the third biggest renewable power source in the world, with photovoltaic (PV) technology being dominant.

Bio-power is the fourth biggest renewable power source after hydro, wind and solar. The world’s net electricity production capacity from bio-mass currently exceeds 495TWh in 2018, while global bio-power generation is ever increasing.

In conclusion, energy created by wind is a viable source of electricity.
