Open days spread the message of wind energy

Q&A Caitríona Diviney, IWEA

Wind farms across Ireland hosted open days last week, seeking to highlight economic, social and environmental benefits of harnessing wind power to replace unsustainable fossil fuels.

According to the Irish Wind Energy Association (IWEA), wind energy employs about 2,300 across Ireland, and will employ more than 10,700 by 2020 in meeting Irish domestic needs, with the potential for significantly more should the export framework be developed.
