Unlike fossil fuels such as gas or coal, wind turbines create no emissions, making wind power one of the cleanest sources of energy on the planet. The use of wind turbines instead of fossil fuels for power improves air quality for people and reduces pollution-related health costs.

A growing wind industry will provide many diverse and satisfying jobs in technology, trades and business. Pakistan has its own special weather condition and geographical advantages for wind power generation. Wind power generation industry will help job creation in rural Pakistan.

Wind is free and an infinite resource. As wind turbine technology advances and the cost of harnessing this widespread resource decreases, wind power is becoming increasingly viable as an alternative to fossil fuel and nuclear power generation. The cost of generating wind energy is falling while the price of natural gas, oil and uranium continues to rise.

World recognize the importance of reducing our reliance on fossil energy. With the growth of wind power, Pakistan can be less dependent on imports and thus less vulnerable to price increases and shortages, which better secures economic growth and contributes to an expanding job market. Market analysts predict a 30% annual growth in wind industry for the next ten years in Pakistan.

The burning of coal releases harmful particulate emissions that cause breathing problems and asthma, and that releases sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which cause acid rain. Coal is also one of the primary contributors of the carbon dioxide that causes global warming and mercury contamination of our lakes and fish. Natural gas is a cleaner option than coal, but it also produces considerable air pollution and contributes to global warming. Nuclear energy produces less particulate air emissions, but it releases effluents into cooling water and creates dangerous radioactive wastes which will require thousands of years of costly and risky storage. In addition, all these types of generation have limited fuels, yet they comprise a substantial portion of our electric generation sources.

Wind, on the other hand, is a completely renewable fuel source. As long as the sun shines, the winds will blow. And wind power produces no health risks and no air pollution. Wind turbines don't produce emissions, so they do not contribute to climate change. In fact, they do the opposite by providing a replacement for fossil fuel power generation. Unlike large hydropower, wind does not flood land and displace the people and animals that live there. Using wind energy in place of conventional energy also reduces smog.

Every unit (kWh) of electricity produced by the wind displaces a unit of electricity which would otherwise have been produced by a power station burning fossil fuel. This is a generally accepted fact used by many organizations including government in their environmental calculations. Using a 1 MW wind turbine to produce electricity instead of burning coal will leave 900,000 kilograms of coal in the ground and reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2,260 tones. This has the same positive impact as taking over 410 cars off the road or planting 10,000 trees.
